Nowadays it is very important to reduce one's carbon "footprint" (how much carbon we produce in our daily lifestyles). Minimizing the use of fossil fuels and instead resorting to renewable sources of energy (e.g., solar energy) are vital to a "sustainable" lifestyle and a lower carbon footprint. Let's consider solar panels that prewarm the water fed to a conventional home water heater. The solar panels have an installed cost of $3000 and they reduce the homeowner's energy bill by $30 per month. The residual value of the solar panels is negligible at the end of their 10-year life. What is the annual effective IRR of this investment? The annual effective IRR of this investment is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

An integrated, combined cycle power plant produces 280 MW of electricity by gasifying coal. The capital investment for the plant is $460 million, spread evenly over two years. The operating life of the plant is expected to be 25 years. Additionally, the plant will operate at full capacity 77% of the time (downtime is 23% of any given year). The MARR is 8% per year. a. If this plant will make a profit of two cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity sold to the power grid, what is the simple payback period of the plant? Is it a low-risk venture? b. What is the IRR for the plant? Is it profitable? a. The simple payback period of the plant is years. (Round up to one decimal place.) It's a venture. b. The IRR for the plant is %. (Round to one decimal place.) The plant is
You are considering getting a Little Nero Caesar Salad Franchise, because your boss (the owner of a Down Under Sandwich Shoppe) seems to be making it big. The Down Under Shoppe grosses an average of $380,000 sales annually. You estimate that your business will gross an average of 95% of Down Under’s sales. You must borrow $320,000 from the bank. The bank will charge you 12% per annum interest on this loan. You also will invest $50,000 of your savings in the business (thus you will no longer receive the 4% per annum interest from this). NOTE: neither the bank loan principal nor the $50,000 of your savings you invest is an explicit or implicit cost. However, the interest paid on the bank loan is explicit and the interest foregone on your savings is implicit. Other estimated explicit expenses are: labor $130,000 per year; rent $12,000 a year; utilities $4,000 a year; and salad ingredients $140,000 a year. An explicit expense you will have to pay Little Nero, Inc., is a franchise…
The economically destructive price spike of 2007–2008 occurred when spare production capacity fell below 1 mbpd, causing a run-up in oil price from $50 to $145 per barrel. An issue for world oil spare capacity is the internal consumption of OPEC producers. OPEC production has ranged between 30 and 33 mbpd since 2004. Internal use is currently about 25% of total OPEC production, but it is growing by 2% per year. The internal consumption growth is largely for nonelastic end uses such as electricity generation, water treatment, and new buildings. If the current world spare capacity is 2 mbpd and the OPEC total production does not increase beyond 33 mbpd, how many years will it take for the spare capacity to fall below 1 mbpd again?

Should Jim sell his Minivan? Jim's 1998 minivan is quite functional, but it only averages 20 miles per gallon (mpg). He has found a somewhat newer vehicle (roughly the same functionality) that averages 26 mpg. He can sell his current minivan for $2800 and purchase the newer vehicle for $4,000. Assume a cost of gasoline $4.00 per gallon. How many miles per year must Jim drive if he wants to recover his investment in three years? Assume an interest rate of 6%, zero salvage value for either vehicle after three years, and identical maintenance cost.

I think these two questions are testing a similar type of concept. Why don't we include the 4.3 in q1 or 310 in q2 as cost and subtract it
A high pressure (1000 psi) stainless steel pump with a variable frequency drive is installed in a seawater reverse osmosis pilot plant that is recoveringwater from membrane concentrate at a rate of 4 gallons per minute (gpm). The cost of the pump was $13,000. Because of favorable results from thepilot study, the water utility wants to go with a fullscale system that will produce 500 gpm. Estimate the cost of the larger pump, if the exponent in the cost-capacity equation has a value of 0.37.
