Three different plans were presented to the GAO (General Accounting Office) by a high-tech facilities manager for operating a portable cyber-security facility. Plan A: Renewable 1-year contracts with payments of $1 million at the beginning of each year. Plan B: A 2-year contract that requires three payments of $600,000 each, with the first one to be made immediately and the second and third payment made at the beginning of the following two 6-month intervals; no payments required during the second year of the contract. Plan C: A 3-year contract that entails a payment of $1.5 million now and another payment of $0.5 million 2 years from now. Assuming the GAO can renew any of the plans under the same conditions, if it decides to do so, which plan is best on the basis of a present worth analysis at an interest rate of 6% per year, compounded semiannually? Solve using (a) factors and (b) a spreadsheet. (Hint: Construct a cash flow diagram before working this problem.)
Two mutually exclusive design alternatives are being considered. The estimated cash flows for each alternative are given below. The MARR is 12% per year. The decision-maker can select one of these alternatives or decide to select none of them. Make a recommendation based on the following methods. Design Y a. Based on PW method, Design is more economical. b. The modified B/C ratio of Design Y is The modified B/C ration of Design Z is c. The incremental B/C ratio is (Round to two decimal places) Therefore, based on the B/C ratio method, Design Investment cost Annual revenue Annual cost Useful life Salvage value (Round to two decimal places) (Round to two decimal places) d.

Preliminary plans are underway for construction of a new stadium for a major league baseball team. City officials question the number and profitability of luxury corporate boxes planned for the upper deck of the stadium. Corporations and selected individuals may purchase a box for $300K. The fixed construction cost for the upper deck area is estimated to be 4.5 Million, with a variable cost of $150K for each box constructed. What is the breakeven point for the number of luxury boxes in the new stadium?
The Texas Department of Transportation is considering in improving accident prevention countermeasures on the state's accident-prone public highways and bridges. The following set of projects has been recommended for evaluation at three different locations and assumes the budget is $20 million. All alternatives are mutually independent projects. Determine the best combination of projects within the budget constraint.(a) II-Band III-B only(b) I-A, II-A, and III-B(c) 1-B, III-A, and III-B(d) 11-B and IIl-B
Six projects have been identified for possible implementation by a company that makes dry ice blasters, machines that propel tiny dry ice pellets at supersonic speeds so they flash freeze and then lift grime, paint, rust, mold, asphalt, and other contaminants off in-place machines and a wide range of surfaces. The present worth of each project has been determined. Identify all acceptable mutually exclusive bundles if the budget limitation is $32,000. Arrange the acceptable bundles in such a way that the total PW values are in ascending order. Project Project PW at 15%, $ L 29,000 M 11,000 N 41,000 O 35,000 P 6,000 Q 2,000

Consider the following mutually exclusive alternatives: Alternative A Alternative B Capital investment $473,000 $1,114,000 Net annual receipts $104,100 $235,000 Both alternatives have a useful life of 20 years and no market value at that time. The MARR is 20 % per year. Determine the annual worth (AW) of the most profitable course of action. (Enter your answer as a number without the dollar sign.)
A one-mile section of a roadway in Florida has been washed out by heavy rainfall. The county is considering two options for rebuilding the road. Pertinent data are presented below.

Problem 05.024 Alternative Comparison - Different Lives You and your partner have become very interested in cross-country motorcycle racing and wish to purchase entry-level equipment. You have identified two alternative sets of equipment and gear. Package K has a first cost of $250,000, an operating cost of $5,500 per quarter, and a salvage value of $30,000 after its 2-year life. Package L has a first cost of $170,000 with a lower operating cost of $3,500 per quarter and an estimated $25,000 salvage value after its 4-year life. Which package offers the lower present worth analysis at an interest rate of 8% per year, compounded quarterly? The present worth of package K is $[ and that of package L is $[ (Click to select) offers the lower present worth.
Five mutually exclusive alternatives are being considered for providing a sewage- treatment facility.
