Standby power for pumps at water distribution booster stations can be provided by either gasoline-or diesel-powered engines. The costs for the gasoline engines are as follows: Gasoline First cost, $ Annual M&O, $ per year Salvage value, $ Life, years - 150,000 -41,000 23,000 15 The incremental PW cash flow equation associated with (diesel – gasoline) is 0 = -40,000 + 11,000 (P/A, i, 15) + 16,000(P/F, i, 15) Determine the following: (a) First cost of the diesel engines (b) Annual M&O cost of the diesel engines (c) Salvage value of the diesel engines
A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $19,000 to install and will have a useful life of 4 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, etc. are expected to be $1,100. A new power line will cost $9,000 to install, with power costs expected to be $800 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 4 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. At an interest rate of 14% per year, which alternative should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis? The future worth of solar cells is $ and that of electric line is $ Electric line should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis.
oncurris Prototyping is committed to using the newest and finest equipment in its labs. Accordingly, Wilma, a senior engineer, has recommended that a 2 -year-old piece of precision measurement equipment be replaced immediately. She believes it can be demonstrated that the proposed equipment is economically advantageous at a 15%-per year return and a planning horizon of 5 years. Perform the replacement analysis using the annual worth method, a 5 -year study period, and the estimates below.

Mid-Valley Industrial Extension Service, a state-sponsoredagency, provides water quality sampling services toall business and industrial firms in a 10-county region.Last month, the service purchased all necessary lab equipmentfor full in-house testing and analysis. Now, an outsourcingcompany has offered to take over this function ona per-sample basis. Data and quotes for the two optionshave been collected. The MARR for government projectsis 5% per year and a study period of 8 years is chosen.In-house: Equipment and supplies initially cost$125,000 for a life of 8 years, an AOCof $15,000, and annual salaries of$175,000. Sample costs average $25.There is no significant salvage valuefor the equipment and supplies currentlyowned.Outsourced: Cost averages $100 per sample for thefirst 5 years, increasing to $125 persample for years 6 through 8. Determine the breakeven number of tests between the two options.

An IE works in the automation department of a surgical equipment manufacturing company that produces specially ordered equipment for hospitals. To upgrade the quality of the assembly process of the camera used in laparoscopic surgery probes, two approaches are available: make and buy. The make alternative has an initial equipment cost of $175,000, a life of 5 years, a $25,000 salvage value, a processing cost of $3,000 per camera, and an M&O cost of $90,000. The buy alternative requires contracting the assembly operation externally at a cost of $7,250 per camera. If the MARR is 12% per year, how many cameras per year must be assembled to justify the make alternative? 27 cameras must be assembled per year to justify the make alternative.
