The Texas Department of Transportation is considering in improving accident prevention countermeasures on the state's accident-prone public highways and bridges. The following set of projects has been recommended for evaluation at three different locations and assumes the budget is $20 million. All alternatives are mutually independent projects. Determine the best combination of projects within the budget constraint.(a) II-Band III-B only(b) I-A, II-A, and III-B(c) 1-B, III-A, and III-B(d) 11-B and IIl-B
K Development projects done by Standalone Products are subsidized by a govemment grant program. The program pays 30 percent of the total cost of the project (costs summed without discounting Le, the interest rate is zero), half at the beginning of the project and half at the end, up to a maximum of $100,000. There are two projects being considered. One is a customized checkweigher for cheese products and the other is an automated production scheduling system. Each project has a service life of five years. Costs and benefits for both projects, not including grant income, are shown below. Only one can be done, and the grant money is certain, Standalone Products has a MARR of 9 percent for projects of this type. Using an appropriate rate of retum method, which project should be chosen? First cost Annual costs Annual benefits Salvage value Checkweigher $32,000 $4.800 $15,000 $8,000 Scheduler $9,000 $13,000 $18.000 SO The appropriate increment investment from one project to the other has an…

3. CSUN receives a $15 million grant to train middle and high school science and math teachers. The ten-year grant will create an estimated savings of $1.5 million per year in teachers salaries and any student incurred expenses. To fund other ongoing events and activities, an estimated $200,000 per year will be removed from other program funding. Operating costs will be $500,000 per year for program success. Use the modified B/C method via AW with an ROR of 6% to identify whether this program is economically justifiable.

The following three mutually exclusive alternative proposals are being considered for flood proofing a factory building that is located in an area subject to occasional flooding by a nearby river. 1. Do nothing: Damage to the building in a moderate flood is $9,000 and in a severe flood it is $23,000. 2. Protect the building with a one-time initial expenditure of $20,000 so that the building can withstand moderate flooding without any damage and withstand severe flooding with only a $12,000 damage. 3. Protect the building with a one-time initial expenditure of $31,000 so that the building can withstand any flooding with no damage at all. In any year, there is a 19% probability of moderate flooding and a 9% probability of severe flooding. Using a MARR of 6% per year and a service life of 20 years, determine which of the three alternatives is the most economical. (a) Calculate EUAC values for each scenario (use negative numbers for costs) The expected EUAC for the "Do Nothing" alternative…

Which of the below statements regarding alternative (renewable) energy sources such as solar, wind, nuclear, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower, is NOT CORRECT based on current available research and data? Group of answer choices The development of alternative energy sources has resulted in new employment opportunities. Improvements in technology has significantly lowered the cost of producing alternative (renewable) energy. Alternative (renewable) energy result in cleaner air, less pollution, and possibly even less global warming and climate change. By the year 2030 alternative energy will have amost completely replaced fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) as the energy source used for global production.
