Car A costs $800 more than Car B, but it consumes 0.035 gallons/mile versus 0.06 gallons/mile for Car B. Both vehicles last 10 years and B's salvage value is $175 smaller than A's. Fuel costs $2.30/gallon. Other things being equal, beyond how many miles of use per year (x) does A become preferable to B?

Annual operating hours remain constant. True or false?
S Required information A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an above ground electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $16,800 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,900. A new power line will cost $24,500 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. At an interest rate of 10% per year and using an AW analysis, which alternative should be selected? The annual worth of installing solar cells is $- a new power line is $- The alternative to be selected is (Click to select) and the annual worth of installing

K An analysis of accidents in a rural state indicates that widening a highway from 30 ft to 40 ft will decrease the annual accident rate from 1,270 to 660 per million vehicle-miles Calculate the average daily number of vehicles that should use the highway to justify widening on the basis of the following estimates: (1) the average loss per accident is $1,000, (ii) the cost of widening is $107,000 per mile (iii) the useful life of the widened road is 25 years; (iv) annual maintenance costs are 3% of the capital investment and (v) 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. Choose the correct answer below OA. The average daily number of vehicles is about 36 vehicles per day OB. The average daily number of vehicles is about 61 vehicles per day OC. The average daily number of vehicles is about 70 vehicles per day OD. The average daily number of vehicles is about 43 vehicles per day OE. The average daily…
