The cost of building the RAMA IX suspension bridge in Thailand is $8 million. The bridge will need to be repainted every 7 years and resurfaced every 9 years, each for an indefinite period of time. The cost of painting is expected to be $159,000 and the cost of resurfacing is estimated to be $417,000. For part a, please calculate your answer to the nearest whole dollar. Format 0000 No commas a. Determine the capitalized worth of the bridge at an interest rate of 4% per year compounded annually. $- For part b, please calculate your answer to 2 decimal places. Do not convert to a percent - leave in decimal form: 0.00 b. What is the effective interest rate for this project?

Home heating accounts for approximately one-third of energy consumption in a typical U.S. household. Despite soaring prices of oil, coal, and natural gas, one can make his/her winter heating bill noninflationary by installing an ultra convenient corn burning stove that costs in the neighborhood of $2,400.That's right - a small radian theating stove that burns corn and adds practically nothing to global warming or air pollution can be obtained through www.magnumfireplace.com. Its estimated annual savings per household in fuel is $300 in a regular U.S. farming community. Do the annual savings more than offset the cost of installing and maintaining a corn-burning stove? What other factors besides dollars might influence your decision to use corn for your home heating requirements? Assume the problem setting is in Tennessee. Also assume that stove will be used for 11 years. Work this problem without considering the time value of money. The total savings during the useful life of the stove…

Your bakery can produce 3,000 unit of bagel per week for 48 weeks of operation per year. You aim to stay in this business for five years. You can either make the dough for the bagels in house or buy them from a different source. If you make the dough in house, you face with annual labour costs: $30,000, annual safety regulation costs: $5,000 and annual material costs: $20,000. But, if you choose to buy the dough from a different source, you must have a special dough-mixer machine to make adjustment for your production. Therefore, you need to pay $5,000 for the dough mixer machine, which has $1,000 salvage value at the end of 5 years. Furthermore, you face with annual maintaining costs including labour costs: $20,000 and additional overhead costs: $10,000 Using this information, find the unit cost of buy the bagel option with MARR 20%. a) Between $1.00 and $1.10 b) None of the answers are correct c) Between $1.20 and $1.30 d) Between $0.20 and $0.30 e) Between $0.50 and $0.60 f) Between…

Suppose I have computed the cost of carbon per mile for my car at 0.011 per mile. Assume that the interest rate is 5% and that I drive the car 30,000 miles per year. What is present value of the carbon expense for five years? You will need to use the PV function in Excel or a financial calculator. In Excel the present value of a stream of monetary cash flows is given by -PV(rate, number of payments, payment amount) where rate is the interest rate. We enter the payment in Excel as a positive number. You can also compute the carbon cost per year and then discount those five values back to the present.
