-Two alternatives are shown in the table below. If the MARR is 20%, which alte mative should be selected and why? Remember to show your work!) (Estimated Rasponse Times for Awarage Student: 7 minutes) Year C C Altemative A $3.000) $1,200 $1,300 $1,300 Alemative B $1.500 $1.500 $1,500 a. Choose Altemative B because the incremental rate of retum is 18.22%, which is less than the MARR, therefore the more expensive aftemative should be selected b. Choose Altemative B because it has an IRR of 11.25% where as Alternative A only has an IRR of 9.70% c. Choose Altemative A because the incremental rate of retum is 1.54%, which is less than the MARR, therefore the cheaper alternative should be selected d. Choose Altemative A because the incremental rate of retum is 18.22%, which is less than the MARR, therefore the cheaper altemative should be selected e.

Your company is determing whether or not it should invest in a new pallet wrapping station. The station would cost $6,500 and your company's MARR is 13%. You estimate the purchasing a pallet wrapper would save you $2,000 in labor annually, and at the end of 3 years you would realize a salvage value of $400. How would you calculate the present worth of this investment in Excel?

UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS AND DRAW THE CASH FLOW DIAGRAM. NO LONG EXPLANATION NEEDED. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Maintenance cost for small bridge with an expected 50 year life are estimated to be $15,000 each year for the first 9 years, followed by a $20,000 expenditure in the year 16 and a $30,000 expenditure in the year 32. If interest rate is at 10% compounded monthly. (Note: Round off the interest rate to five decimal places.) A. What is the equivalent present value of the entire maintenance cost of that bridge? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)B. what is the equivalent uniform annual cost over the entire-50 year period? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
