A new chemical remediation tank is needed. Current technology tanks, which cost $150,000, must be drained and treated every 2 years at a cost of $30,000; the tanks will last 10 years, and each will have a salvage value of 5% of first cost. A tank with new technology has just come on the market. There are no periodic maintenance costs, and a tank will last 20 years. If the new tanks cost $325,000, what minimum salvage value, as a percentage of first cost, would be required for this technology to be a better option? Use a 12% interest rate. (a) 10% (b) 36% (c) 57% (d) 72%?
Assume it costs 30 cents per ton per mile to operate a garbage truck and 10 cents per ton per mile to operate a transfer truck. A transfer station also has fixed cost of $20 per ton. If it is 40 miles to the landfill. What would be your least expensive transportation alternative?
5) Assume each household produces 60 lb of refuse per week. How many customers can a
20-yd³ truck that compacts the refuse to 550 lb/yd³ collect before it has to make a trip to
the landfill?

Robot Y will have a first cost of $97,000, an annual M&O cost of $27,000, and a $50,000 salvage value.

- A cooling-water pumping station at the LCRA plant costs $600,000 to construct, and it is projected to have a 25-year life with an estimated salvage value of 15% of the construction cost. However, the station will be book-depreciated to zero over a recovery period of 30 years. Calculate the annual depreciation charge for years 4, 10, and 25, using (a) straight line depreciation and (b) DDB depreciation. (c) What is the implied salvage value for DDB?arrow_forwardUsing simple calculation method.arrow_forwardA currently owned shredder for use in a refuse-powered electrical generating plant has a present net realizable value of $210,000 and isexpected to have a market value of $10,000 after 4 years. Operating andmaintenance disbursements are $100,000 per year. An equivalent shredder can be leased for $200 per day plus $80 per hour of actual use as determined by an hour meter, with both components assumed to be paid at the end of the year. Actual use is expected to be 1,500 hours and 250 days per year. Using a 4-year planning horizon and a MARR of 15%, determine the preferred alternative using the annual cost criterion. Solve, a. Consider only the above information and use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach). b. Consider the additional information that the annual cost of operating without a shredder is $190,000 and use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach).arrow_forward
