A large city in mid-west needs to buy a street-cleaning machine. A used vehicle will cost $75000 and has a market value of $20000 after its five-year life. A new system cost $150000 and has a market value of $40000 after five-years. The new system has some features that reduce labor hours compared with used system. the used system requires labor hours of 8 hours. per day and 20 days per month. the labor costs are $50 per hour. the MARR is 12%. if the new system is expected to be able to reduce labor hours by 20% compared with the used system, which system should the city purchase? and how many hours must the system be operated at the break even?

Can we take the Replacement Decisions when the required service period is long?
The purchase of a used pickup for $22,000 is being considered. Records for other vehicles show that costs for oil, tires, and repairs about equal the cost for fuel. Fuel costs are $1950 per year if the truck is driven 12,500 miles. The salvage value after 6 years of use drops about 15¢ per mile. Find the equivalent uniform annual cost if the interest rate is 5%. How much does this change if the annual mileage is 15,000? 10,000?

solve it manually; do not use excel A steel pedestrian overpass must either be reinforced or replaced. Reinforcement would cost $25,000 and would make the overpass adequate for an additional 6 years of service. If the overpass is torn down now, the scrap value of the steel would exceed the removal cost by $15,000. If it is reinforced, it is estimated that its net salvage (market) value would be $18,000 at the time it is retired from service. A new pre-stressed concrete overpass would cost $140,000 and would meet the foreseeable requirements of the next 40 years. Such a design would have no net scrap or MV. It is estimated that the annual expenses of the reinforced overpass would exceed those of the concrete overpass by $3,200. Assume that money costs the state 8% per year and that the state pays no taxes. What would you recommend?

You own a family farm, worth $500,000, and need to decide what to do with this year’s earnings of $400,000. (i) You could put the money in the bank and earn a safe 5% return. (ii) Or you could pay $200,000 to plant a new crop, which will yield a harvest in six months; if there is rain, the harvest will bring in $1.000,000 in revenues, but if there is a drought it will yield just $100,000 in revenues. (iii) A third alternative is to plant Santo drought-resistant seed corn, which will cost $500,000, but yield revenues of $1,000,000 if there is rain or $700,000 if there is no rain. You are risk averse, and your reference for family wealth (W) is given by U(W) = √W [Square root of W]. The probability of a summer drought is 0.33. Which of the three options should you choose? Explain.
11-22 Opportunity costs. After thorough saving, a student bought a second-hand car for $1,500. After three months, the gear box broke down and he had to replace it with a new gear box for $400. One morning the car wouldn't start. He called a friend who knew a lot about cars, who concluded that the fuel pump needed replacing at a cost of $250. The car drove surprisingly well during the next several months, but then the car's drive shaft broke, and a mechanic at the garage told the student that this was an expensive repair that had to be done in order to drive again. The replacement of the drive shaft was estimated at $800. The student is wondering if he should he repair the car or not. On the one hand, it is a lot of money. On the other hand he has already invested $2,150 and this will be lost if he doesn't repair the car. 1. What should the student do? Discuss the opportunity costs. Required
