Question 1 1. A town needs to build a new flood mitigation barrier. The town engineer has selected two barrier designs for consideration. The first design is earthen barrier and the second design is concrete barrier. Use equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC) analysis to determine which plan is more economical. Assume a 25-year analysis period, an interest rate of 5%, and no salvage value. Earthen Barrier Annual maintenance cost Concrete Barrier Construction cost $9,000,000 $22,000,000 $1,200,000 $500,000 In the box below provide the EUAC of the concrete barrier

Littrell's Nursery needs a new irrigation system. System one will cost $145,000, have annual maintenance costs of $10,000, and need an overhaul at the end of year six costing $30,000. System two will have first year maintenance costs of $5,000 with increases of $500 each year thereafter. System two would not require an overhaul. Both systems will have no salvage value after 12 years. If Littrell's cost of capital is 4%, using annual worth analysis determine the maximum Littrell's should be willing to pay for system two.
