A new solid waste treatment plant is to be constructed in Washington County. The initial installation will cost $40 million (M). After 10 years, minor repair and renovation (R&R) will occur at a cost of $8M will be required; after 20 years, a major R&R costing $18M will be required. The investment pattern will repeat every 20 years. Each year during the 20-year period, operating and maintenance (O&M) costs will occur. The first year, O&M costs will total $2M. Thereafter, O&M costs will increase at a compound rate of 3% per year. Based on a 3% MARR, what is the capitalized cost for the solid waste treatment plant? Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator. $ Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to a whole number. The tolerance is ±25,000.

Three mutually exclusive electric-vehicle battery systems are being investigated by a large automobile manufacturer. Pertinent data are given below: Solve, a. Use the PW method to select the best battery system. The MARR is 15% per year, and the system chosen must provide service for 10 years. Assume repeatability. b. Confirm your recommendation in Part (a) using the IRR method.
Problem 03.015- Annual worth calculations Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are responsible for many deaths in times of strife and war. Unmanned ground vehicles (robots) can be used to disarm the IEDs and perform other tasks as well. If the robots cost $125,000 each and the military arms unit signs a contract to purchase 4,000 of them now and another 7,500 one year from now, what is the equivalent annual cost of the contract over a 8.00-year period at 12.00% per year interest? (Round the final answer to three decimal places.) The equivalent cost of the contract is determined to be $
