# 1 An electric cooperative is considering the use of a concrete electric pole in the expansion of its power distribution lines. A concrete pole costs P18, 000.00 each and will last 20 years. The company is presently using creosoted wooden poles which cost P12, 000.00 per pole and will last 10 years. If money is worth 12 % which pole should be used? Assume annual taxes amount to 1% of first cost and zero salvage value in both cases?

4 QUESTION 9 A new production system for a factory is to be purchased and installed for $153,484. This system will save approximately 300,000 kWh of electric power each year for a 4year period. Assume the cost of electricity is $0.10 per kWh, and factory MARR is 10% per year, and the salvage value of the system will be $8,496 at year 4 Calcutate the FW of the above investment and insert the result below.

Question 1 A corporate jet costs $1,350,000 and will incur $200,000 per year in fixed costs (maintenance, licenses, insurance, and hangar rental) and $277 per hour in variable costs (fuel, pilot expense, etc.). The jet will be operated for 1,200 hours per year for five years and then sold for $650,000. The MARR is 15% per year. What is the EUAC of the jet? $838,710 $1000.45 $445.66 $1500
Problem 13 The Keiser Mining Company must deposit money in an account TODAY (n=0) to cover the anticipated cleanup costs that will begin when the mine closes. These cleanup costs of $6000 will begin in year 5 and repeat every 2 years, as shown below. The account will pay 5% annual interest. $6 $6 $6 $in thousands of 5 - ST 10 11 = The amount Keiser Mining Company should deposit TODAY is closest to: a. $45,900 b. $48,200 c. $50,600 d. $58,500
Littrell's Nursery needs a new irrigation system. System one will cost $145,000, have annual maintenance costs of $10,000, and need an overhaul at the end of year six costing $30,000. System two will have first year maintenance costs of $5,000 with increases of $500 each year thereafter. System two would not require an overhaul. Both systems will have no salvage value after 12 years. If Littrell's cost of capital is 4%, using annual worth analysis determine the maximum Littrell's should be willing to pay for system two.
