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?

Question 5 The second, Van Y, has a useful life of 10 years and will cost you $33,000 in Year 0. You expect it to earn the same additional $8,000 per year in profit, and have a salvage value of $5,000 at the end of Year 10. Using the coterminated assumptions and a study period of 15 years, what is the Future Worth of Van Y? Assume that you reinvest all cash flows at the MARR after the end of the useful life of the van.

Galvanized Products is considering the purchase of a new computer system for their enterprise data management system. The vendor has quoted a purchase price of $80,000. Galvanized Products is planning to borrow 1/4th of the purchase price from a bank at 19% compounded annually. The loan is to be repaid using equal annual payments over a 3-year period. The computer system is expected to last 5 years and has a salvage value of $7,000 at that time. Over the 5-year period, Galvanized Products expects to pay a technician $29,000 per year to maintain the system but will save $58,000 per year through increased efficiencies. Galvanized Products uses a MARR of 17%/year to evaluate investments. What is the external rate of return of this investment?
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…
There are three alternatives X,Y,Z. With 10% MARR, which alternative should be chosen based on following conditions and why? For X, initial cost is $10k, yearly revenue is $6K, Salvage is $1k and useful life is calculated as 2yrs. For Y, initial cost is $15k, yearly revenue is $10K, Salvage is -$2k and useful life is calculated as 3yrs. For Z, initial cost is $12k, yearly revenue is $5K, Salvage is $3k and useful life is calculated as 4yrs.
