For the below ME alternatives, which machine should be selected based on the PW analysis. MARR-10% First cost, $ Annual cost, $/year Salvage value, $ Life, years Machine A Answer the below questions: A- PW for machine A 27,500 8,282 4,000 Machine B 30000 6,000 5,000 Machine C 10000 4,000 1,000
An industrial plant has hired a contractor to develop a solar farm nearby for the industrial plant's electricity consumption. During the 3-year construction period, the contractor will need to run a generator to power the construction. Cost analysis from previous projects indicates: Generator Brand Installed Cost Cost per Hour A $22M $500 B $23M $400 C $25M $250 D $30M $150 At the end of 3 years, the generator will have a salvage value equal to the cost of removing them. The generator will operate 6,000 hours per year. The lowest interest rate at which the contractor is willing to invest money is 7%. (The minimum required interest rate for invested money is called the minimum attractive rate of return, or MARR.) Select the alternative with the least present worth of cost. O Choice "C" with $29,872,900 O Choice "B" with $29,298,320 O Choice C with $28,936,450 O Choice "A" with $29,872,900
The management of Brawn Engineering is considering three alternatives to satisfy an OSHA requirement for safety gates in the machine shop. Each gate will completely satisfy the requirement, so no combinations need to be considered. The first costs, operating costs, and salvage values over a 5-year planning horizon are shown below. End of Year Gate 1 Gate 2 Gate 3 0 -$15,000 -$19,000 -$24,000 1 -$6,500 -$5,600 -$4,000 2 -$6,500 -$5,600 -$4,000 3 -$6,500 -$5,600 -$4,000 4 -$6,500 -$5,600 -$4,000 5 -$6,500 + $0 -$5,600 + $2,000 -$4,000 + $5,000 What is the future worth of each alternative?
