Question 1 [25 marks] Using your own words, write an explanation for the following terms in engineering economics: (a) Opportunity cost with an example [5 marks] (b) Arithmetic gradient series with a simple cash flow diagram [5 marks] (c) Equilibrium price with a simple graph [5 marks] (d) Mutually exclusive alternatives with an example [5 marks] (e) Advantages and disadvantages of Gantt chart [5 marks] Question 2 [25 marks] (a) Using your own words explain the payback analysis and write its advantages and disadvantages. [13 marks] (b) An import company buys foreign-made toy train sets at $25 per unit. The fixed cost of the importing operation is $40,000 per year. (i) At what price should a set be sold to allow the importer to break even on a total shipment of 4,000 sets per year? [6 marks] (ii) Assume that the train sets are sold on commission by sales representatives who receive 20% of the selling price for each set sold and it is expected that $8,000 must be added to the fixed cost for advertising. If 20,000 units are sold at the same price calculated in the previous part, would the company be in a profit or loss? [6 marks]

Outside the United States speed is measured in Kilometers per hour (km/h) rather than miles per hour (mph). Although the exact conversion from km/h to mph is 0.57, a conversion factor of 0.6 is generally used because it is easier to remember. For the reverse conversion a factor of 1.7 is normally used. Perform the following conversions using the approximate conversion factors. a. What is the speed in mph of an automobile on the German Autobahn traveling at 160km/h?
