The cost of a biomedical image scanning machine is 95000 with an estimated annual maintenance cost of $4500 and an overhauling cost of 3000 in year 6. The machine is projected to save $25000 in direct labor cost annually. Biomedical Analytics Inc. the company who purchased the machine plans to sell it 10 years from now at a price of $35000. a) Draw the cash flow diagram b) Determine the Rate of Return (ROR) if staring with two initial guesses of 18% and 20% Hints: Profit= R-TC Profit = rQ-(FC+ v Q = Annual Quantity
White Oaks Properties builds strip shopping centers and small malls. The company plans to replace its refrigeration, cooking, and HVAC equipment with newer models in one entire center built 10 years ago. 10 years ago, the original purchase price of the equipment was $775,000 and the operating cost has averaged $275,000 per year. Determine the equivalent annual cost of the equipment if the company can now sell it for $174,000. The company's MARR is 19% per year. The equivalent annual cost of the equipment is determined to be $
oncurris Prototyping is committed to using the newest and finest equipment in its labs. Accordingly, Wilma, a senior engineer, has recommended that a 2 -year-old piece of precision measurement equipment be replaced immediately. She believes it can be demonstrated that the proposed equipment is economically advantageous at a 15%-per year return and a planning horizon of 5 years. Perform the replacement analysis using the annual worth method, a 5 -year study period, and the estimates below. Was Wilma correct? \table[[Equipment,Current,Proposed],[Original purchase price, $,-30,000,-42,000
A generator is purchased on the basis of guaranteed performance. A test indicates that the operating cost will be 300 more per year than the manufacturer guaranteed. If the expected life of the generator is 20 years and money is worth 8%, how much should the purchaser deduct from the purchased price to compensate for the extra operating cost?
Economical solar energy and energy from fusion have been identified as two of engineering's grand challenges. While work continues on these grand challenges, conservation of energy from non-renewable sources is vital. On a practical level, installing low thermal emissivity windows (low-e windows) on buildings can contribute to energy conservation. Installing low-e windows on a small office building is estimated to cost $11,000. The windows are expected to last 10 years and have no salvage value at that time. The energy savings from the windows are expected to be $2,275 in the 1st year. After the 1st year, the savings are expected to increase by $225 each year due to escalating fossil fuel costs. MARR is 12% per year and annual worth is the preferred measure of economic worth. Part a Are the low-e windows an economically attractive investment?

Using AW analysis. Texas Popcorn Corporation is planning to fully automate it process. The company CEO is currently looking into three options. Options A costs $450,000, AOC of $55,000, and salvage value of $85,000 after 3 years. Option B will cost $720,000 with an AOC of $68,000 and salvage of $95,000 after 4 years. Option C cost $800,000 with an AOC of $95,000 and salvage of $125,000 after 6 years. Which machine should the company select at an interest rate of 10% per year? Assume the project service life is 12 years.

Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. Biomet Implants is planning new online patient diagnostics for surgeons while they operate. The new system will cost $300,000 to install in an operating room, $5000 annually for maintenance, and have an expected life of 10 years. The revenue per system is estimated to be $80,000 in year 1 and to increase by $10,000 per year through year 10. a) Determine NPV to see if the project is economically justified using PW analysis and an MARR of 10% per year. b) Insert a Triangle distribution with minimum at $8000, average 10,000 and maximum at 12000 as the input distribution for the revenue increase. Perform Monte Carlo Simulation and discuss the results.

Nowadays it is very important to reduce one's carbon "footprint" (how much carbon we produce in our daily lifestyles). Minimizing the use of fossil fuels and instead resorting to renewable sources of energy (e.g., solar energy ) are vital to a "sustainable" lifestyle and a lower carbon footprint. Let's consider solar panels that prewarm the water fed to a conventional home water heater. The solar panels have an installed cost of $2694, and they reduce the homeowner's energy bill by $29 per month. The residual value of the solar panels is negligible at the end of their 9-year life. What is the annual effective IRR of this investment?
