A certain government funded city flood control system has an initial investment cost of $500,000. Cost of materials, maintenance, electric power and other operating costs are expected to total $10,000 per year beginning from the first year until the infinite future. Major repairs and rehabilitations will occur every 5 years at a cost of $100,000. If the interest rate is 10% per year, what is the equivalent capitalized cost of this project?
The city is building bridge that will cost 1.2 million dollars today and $25,000 per year to maintain. How much money needs to be invested today at a 10% interest rate to ensure the city has the payments to begin and maintain the project?
The initial investment in a government-funded city flood control system is $500,000. From the initial year to the endless future, materials, maintenance, electric power, and other running expenditures are estimated to reach $10,000 per year. Every five years, major repairs and rehabilitations will be carried out at a cost of $100,000. What is the project's equivalent capitalized cost if the interest rate is 10% per year?
The government decides to build a bridge, costing $100 million. A plan has to be made to raise funds for future maintenance costs, which is estimated to be $2 million annually. Assuming that the government can create a trust fund that earns 8% interest annually, how much has to be raised now to cover the annual maintenance costs? O 50 million O 75 million O The fund raised will be insufficient to cover costs O 25 million O 125 million
Pine Village needs some additional recreation fields. Construction will cost $300,000, and annual O&M expenses are $85,000. The city council estimates that the value of added youth leagues is about $200,000 annually. In year 6 another $75,000 will be needed to refurbish the fields. The salvage value is estimated to be $50,000 after 10 years. Draw the cash flow diagram.
GoG is considering a proposal to construct a new bypass around city “A”. The proposal will involve an initial cost of $60 million (for construction) and $2.25 million annually for maintenance. The bypass has an estimated life of 20 years during which it is expected to yield social benefits of $9.75 million every year. (i) Using a discount rate of 8%, calculate the BCR of the proposed project (ii) Interpret your answer for (i)(iii) Based on your results make a recommendation to GoG 30
A city is spending $20 million on a new bridge. Operating and maintenance expenses for the bridge are projected to average $0.6 million per year starting year 3 onwards. Major repairs worth $1.5 million are expected every 5 years, starting on year 5 and throughout the infinite life of the project. What is the capitalized cost of the bridge project if the city's MARR is at 8%? Draw the cash-flow diagram before solving.
(engineering economics) A building was purchased by the city government with a gradual payment of Rp. 20 billion at the time of purchase and followed by Rp. 40 billion a year later. The building is expected to be used by the community for 20 years starting after the second payment is made. During operation the dam will require operational and maintenance costs of Rp. 750 million annually. Meanwhile, the benefits that will be obtained by the community as a result of these facilities can be equivalent to Rp. 5 billion per year. In addition, this facility also generates direct income of Rp. 4.7 billion per year. Alternatively, the building can be renovated prior to use. If it is going to be renovated, the city government needs to spend an additional Rp. 10 billion for the two payments as mentioned above. The operational and maintenance costs have not changed, which are still Rp. 750 million per year, while the annual income will increase to Rp. 5.6 billion. Determine alternatives without…
A city is spending $20.8 million on a new sewage system. The expected life of the system is 40 years, and it will have no market value at the end of its life. Operating and maintenance expenses for the system are projected to average $0.8 million per year. If the city's MARR is 12% per year, what is the capitalized worth of the system? The study period is 100 years. Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when the MARR is 12% per year. The capitalized worth of the system is S million. (Round to two decimal places.)
A public project is being considered by a local government that will cost $10M at the start and SSM at the end of years 1 through 5. The project is estimated to earn $20M at the end of year 2, $30M at the end of years 3 and 4, and $20M at the end of year 5. Assuming i = 10%. What is the benefit-to-cost ratio for this project? Draw a cash flow diagram for the costs and benefits annually.

Street lighting fixtures and their sodium vapor bulbs for a two-block area of a large city need to be installed at a first cost (investment cost) of $120,000. Annual maintenance expenses are expected to be $6,500 for the first 20 years and $8,500 for each year thereafter. The lighting will be needed for an indefinitely long period of time. With an interest rate of 10% per year, what is the capitalized cost of this project (choose the closest answer below)? (a) $178,313 (b) $188,000 (c) $202,045 (d) $268,000.
