In marble block quarrying operation, hand rock drills, costing P70,000 each, is used. It has a drilling rate of 15 cm/min, produces 30 cubic meters of block per month and consumes 80 liters of diesel fuel for compressor drive, per rock drill per cubic meter produced utilizing 1 worker per drill. A modern equipment quarry bar mounted rock drill is being offered for P180,000 per unit and has a drilling rate of 65 cm/min that will produce 75 cubic meters of block per month, but consumes 135 liters of diesel fuel for the compressor drive per cubic meters of block produced, utilizing 2 workers per quarry bar drill. Consider diesel fuel at P6.55 per liter at quarries, worker earning P375 per day, 22 days per month, 12 years life of both drills with 13% salvage

You work for Midstates Solar Power. A manager asked you to analyze the following two machines. Machine Semi has a first cost of $50,000 and an operating cost of $15,000 in year 1, increasing by $1500 every two years through year 6, after which time it will have a salvage value of $10,000. Machine Auto has a first cost of $50,000 and an operating cost of $20,000 in year 1, increasing by 5% per year through year 6, after which time it will have a salvage value of $15,000. Utilize an interest rate of 12% per year to determine both estimates. a) Which machine will have the lower capital recovery cost? b) Which machine will have the lower equivalent annual total cost?

The property appraisal district for Marin County has just installed new software to track residential market values for property tax computations. The manager wants to know the total equivalent cost of all future costs incurred when the three county judges agreed to purchase the software system. If the new system will be used for the indefinite future, find the equivalent value (a) now and (b) for each year hereafter. The system has an installed cost of $150,000 and an additional cost of $50.000 after 10 years. The annual software maintenance contract cost is $5000 for the first 4 years and $8000 thereafter. In addition, there is expected to be a recurring major upgrade cost of $15,000 every 13 years. Assume that = 5% per year for county funds.
