Part Three A dyke is proposed to be constructed for river protection of a city against flooding. The higher the dyke, the greater the costs and the lower the risk of flooding. Estimated data are indicated in the following Table: Height of Dyke (m) Cost of Dyke (€ million) Risk of Flooding (times per year) 3 15 2.5 3.5 22 1.5 38 1.2 5.5 87 0.8 6.5 110 0.4 8 130 0.2 If the damage by flooding is estimated at £15.4m each time it occurs, determine the design height that should be selected if money can be borrowed at 9% cost of capital.

You have been asked to perform an economic evaluation of two projects and recommend one of them for implementation. The project parameters are as follows: Project A Project B Discount Rate 4.0% 4.0% Your analysis concludes that: Project Cost $1,000,000 $750,000 Project Life (yrs) 10 15 Elec. Savings Elec. Cost (kWh/yr) ($/kWh) 800,000 600,000 O Project A is preferable, but Project B also has attractive performance. O Project B is preferable, but Project A also has attractive performance. O Project B is preferable and Project A results in a net loss. O Project A is preferable and Project B results in a net loss. $0.12 $0.12 Annual Cost Escalation Rate 1.5% 1.5%
Production capacity of neck process. There are two alternatives, a and B. The annual fixed cost of scheme a is US $40000 and that of scheme B is US $30000; the unit variable cost of scheme a is US $10 / piece and that of scheme B is US $11 / piece. Revenue can be realized for each piece 15 $ 1Calculate the break even point of the two schemes. 2What kind of output can the two schemes achieve the same profit? 3) If the annual demand is expected to be 12000 units, which option can achieve higher profits?

An automobile spare part is sold for $15 per unit. The VC are $3 per unit, 15000 units of the product are sold annually and a profit of $80,000 is made. The change to be made in the design of the product will increase the VC by 20% and the FC by 10%, and the sales amount will increase to 18000 units. a) At what selling price do we break even? b) What is the annual profit when the selling price remains the same ($12/unit)?

SITUATION3: Under the data collected from the office of Department of Transportation and DPWH over the last 5 years indicate that for each fatality, there are 40 non-fatal injury accidents ($1500 present cost each) and 300 property damage accidents ($2000 present cost each). What is the breakeven value of statistical Me (VSL) needed to justify a highway project if i is 8%? The death rate on a particular three-lane road is 8 per 100 million vehicle-miles. Adding a lane would reduce this to 5 per million, and other accidents would cost $1.5M per mile to build, and annual maintenance would be 3% of the first cost. Assume that the lane would last 40 years. The road carries 10000 vehicle per day. Use reduction factor of 3/8 for all accidents. (Non-CE students no need to answer this item).

PW values of a project were calculated for several values of (i). The results were plotted as shown in the figure. a. What are the values of ROR (i*) for this project? Put 100 integer number followed immediately by% 75 1- 50 25 2- 10 20 30 40 50 b. If this project is a public sector project (i.e. its ROR is low). What value should we choose as the ROR for the 50 project? Put integer number followed immediately 75 by% 100 (O00TS x) Md
a) There is possibility of risk occurrence even when risk reduction techniques are n place. How will deal with this scenario and how will you justify cost-effectiveness of a risk reduction technique? b) Identify the schedules that are used on daily basis for the control and management of the project.
A seasonal bus tour firm has 5 buses with a capacity of 60 people each. Each customer pays $25 for a one-day tour. Records show $360,000 in fixed costs per season, incremental costs of $5 per customer, and an average daily occupancy of 80%. The number of days of operation necessary each season to break even is closest to which value? (a) 50 days (b) 75 days (c) 100 days (d) 120 days?
Answer the problems on the basis of the above graph and the most likely estimates given as follows: If the profit (R−E) is decreased by 5%, this projectis not profitable. (a) True (b) False.
