Question: Your client is asking you to design a Flux Capacitor. The Flux Capacitor is expected to cost $5,200 to build. If operations and maintenance costs are anticipated to be 15% of the build costs the first year of operation and operation and maintenance costs will increase by 6% each year after, how much will your client have invested in the Flux Capacitor after 5 years? Notes from instructor: I have had a few questions about the Econ. Assignment. I want to clarify that the 6% interest rate does not accumulate over 4 years and it is not added to the 15%. If something increases by the interest it is (1+i) each year. I recommend finding the cost of each year and then summing them up. The equation is not direct from the FE manual so this is going to best your best course of action for now.
Solve the following question with complete solution and include cash flow diagram: (DO NOT USE EXCEL) (Handwritten/Type only) Maintenance money for a new building has been sought Mr. Kendall would like to make a donation to cover all future expected maintenance costs for the building. These maintenance costs are expected to be Php42036 each year for the first 5 years, Php52373 each year for year 6 through 10 and P62313 each year for year 11 through 15. If money is placed in account that will pay 12% interest compounded semi-annually, how large should the gift be? (Round off the interest rate to 5 significant places and final answer to 2 decimal)
