A new highway is to be constructed. Design A calls for a concrete pavement costing $80 per foot with a 20-year life; four paved ditches costing $3 per foot each; and four box culverts every mile, each costing $10,000 and having a 20-year life. Annual maintenance will cost $1,600 per mile; the culverts must be cleaned every five years at a cost of $400 each per mile. Design B calls for a bituminous pavement costing $55 per foot with a 10-year life; four sodded ditches costing $1.40 per foot each; and four pipe culverts every mile, each costing $2,100 and having a 10-year life. The replacement culverts will cost $2,450 each. Annual maintenance will cost $2,600 per mile; the culverts must be cleaned yearly at a cost of $225 each per mile; and the annual ditch maintenance will cost $1.55 per foot per ditch. Compare the two designs on the basis of equivalent worth per mile for a 20-year period. Find the most economical design on the basis of AW and PW if the MARR is 12% per year. Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when the MARR is 12% per year. ・・・ The AW value for Design A is $/mi. (Round to the nearest hundreds.)

Two incinerators are being considered by a waste management company. Design A has an initial cost of $2,500,000, has annual operating and maintenance costs of $800,000, and requires overhauls every 5 years at a cost of $1,250,000. Design B is more sophisticated, including computer controls; it has an initial cost of $5,750,000, has annual operating and maintenance costs of $600,000, and requires overhauls every 10 years at a cost of $3,000,000. Using a 5%/year interest rate, determine the capitalized cost for each design and recommend which should be chosen.

A major equipment purchase is being considered by Metro Atlanta. The initial cost is determined to be $1,000,000. It is estimated that this new equipment will save $100,000 the first year and increase gradually by $50,000 every year for the next 6 years. MARR=10% a. Using Benefit- Cost analysis, what is the Benefit/Cost ratio for this equipment purchase? b. Based on the Benefit/Cost analysis should Metro Atlanta purchase the equipment?
Solve this problem using the incremental Benefit - Cost ration with, expected life of 10 years and rate of return of 10% Alternative A Initial cost Annual maintenance cost Estimated annual benefit $50,000 $4,000 $10,000 Alternative B Initial cost $30,000 Annual maintenance cost $3,000 Estimated annual benefit $9,000 a. Select A with B/C =1.14 b. Select B with B/C 1.14 OC. Select B with B/C = 0.14 O d. Reject A with B/C = 1.14
