8.(new question) An engineer proposes to spend $95,000 on a capital project to upgrade a package delivery system. The project is expected to have labor savings of $20,000 a year plus reduce scrap costs by $5000 a year. There is expected to be no salvage value at the end of the equipment life, which is anticipated to be 7 years. MARR is 12%. This question is in five parts. The engineer next performs a sensitivity analysis for a best case and worst case scenario: Best Case Worst Case Initial Cost $95,000 $110,000 Labor Savings $25,000 $15,000 Scrap Cost Reduction $6,000 $4,000 Part 4: What is the present worth (PW) in the worst case scenario? (your answer should be a positive or negative number and do not use commas or $ signs)

3. The annual worth method An office supply company has purchased a light duty delivery truck for $15,000. It is anticipated that the purchase of the truck will increase the company’s revenue by $10,000 annually, whereas the associated operating expenses are expected to be $3,000 per year. The truck’s market value is expected to decrease by $2,500 each year it is in service. If the company plans to keep the truck for only 2 years, what is the annual worth of this investment? The MARR = 18% per year

A university is trying to determine how much it should charge for tickets to basketball games to help offset the expenses of the new arena. The cost to build the arena including labor, materials. e tc. was $92 million. Each year the maintenance cost is expected to increase by 5% as the building gets older. 1l1e maintenance cost for the first year is $150.000. Utilities arc expected to average about $200.000 per year and labor costs $300,000. The average attendance at basketball games over the year is expected to be J00.000 people (or 100.000 tickets sold to events). Assuming the arena has no other source of income besides regular ticket sales (not including student tickets) for basketball games, what should the university charge so that it can recover at least a 6% cost of borrowing on its investment? ll1c university expects the arena to be used for 40 years and 10 have no appreciable salvage value.
