a truck-hauling operation with two excavators operating in tandem at 175 (cy)/(hr) each and trucks operating at 42 (cy)/(hr) each. sketch the "$/hr vs. number of trucks” curve (+- 2 truck) if each excavator operates at $(135)/(hr) and each truck operates at $(90)/(hr.) For example, if the balanced number of trucks is rounded to 6 trucks, develop data points and a curve for 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 trucks.

Please solve this question. There are two alternatives for a construction firm to purchase a road roller which will be used for the construction of a highway section. The cash flow details of the alternatives are as follows; Alternative-1: Initial purchase cost = Rs.1,500,000, Annual operating cost = Rs.35,000 starting from the end of year “2” (negligible in the first year) till the end of useful life, Annual revenue to be generated = Rs.340,000 for first 4 years and then Rs.320,000 afterwards till the end of useful life, Expected salvage value = Rs.430,000, Useful life = 8 years. Alternative-2: Initial purchase cost = Rs.1,800,000, Annual operating cost = Rs.25,000, Annual revenue to be generated = Rs.365,000, Expected salvage value = Rs.550,000, Useful life = 8 years. Evaluate these alternatives & find out the most economical alternative on the basis of equivalent future worth at the interest rate of 9.5% per year.

A machine cost $45,000 to purchase. Fuel, oil grease,and minor maintenance are estimated to cost $12.34 peroperating hour. A set of tires cost $3,200 to replace, andtheir estimated life is 2,800 use hours. A $6,000 majorrepair will probably be required after 4,200hr of use. Themachine is expected to last for 8,400 hr, after which itwill be sold at a price equal to 10% of the originalpurchase price. A final set of new tires will not bepurchased before the sale. How much should the ownerof the machine charge per hour of use, if it is expectedthat the machine will operate 1,400 hr per year? Thecompany’s capital rate is 7%.
