A government-funded wind-based electric power generation company in the southern part of the country has developed the following estimates (in $1000) for a new turbine farm. The MARR is 10% per year and the project life is 25 years. Benefits: $45,000 in year 0; $29,500 in year 5 Government savings: $2,000 in years 1 through 20 Cost: $58,000 in year 0 Disbenefits: $3000 in years 1 through 10 NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Calculate the PI value. The PI value is
Six projects have been identified for possible implementation by a company that makes dry ice blasters, machines that propel tiny dry ice pellets at supersonic speeds so they flash freeze and then lift grime, paint, rust, mold, asphalt, and other contaminants off in-place machines and a wide range of surfaces. The present worth of each project has been determined. Identify all acceptable mutually exclusive bundles if the budget limitation is $32,000. Arrange the acceptable bundles in such a way that the total PW values are in ascending order. Project Project PW at 15%, $ L 29,000 M 11,000 N 41,000 O 35,000 P 6,000 Q 2,000
Blue Whale Moving and Storage recently purchased a warehouse building in Santiago. The manager has two good options for moving pallets of stored goods in and around the facility. Alternative 1 includes a 4000-pound capacity, electric forklift (P = $-30,000; n = 12 years; AOC = $-1000 per year; S = $8000), and 500 new pallets at $10 each. The forklift operator's annual salary and indirect benefits are estimated at $32,000. Alternative 2 involves the use of two electric pallet movers ("walkies") each with a 3000-pound capacity (for each mover, P = $-2000; n = 4 years; AOC = $-150 per year; no salvage) and 800 pallets at $10 each. The two operators' salaries and benefits will total $55,000 per year. For both options, new pallets are purchased now and every 2 years that the equipment is in use. (a) If the MARR is 8% per year, select the better alternative.

Consider the following mutually exclusive alternatives: Alternative A Alternative B Capital investment $473,000 $1,114,000 Net annual receipts $104,100 $235,000 Both alternatives have a useful life of 20 years and no market value at that time. The MARR is 20 % per year. Determine the annual worth (AW) of the most profitable course of action. (Enter your answer as a number without the dollar sign.)
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is considering two designs for crash barriers along a reconstructed portion of 1-10. Design 2B will cost $3 million to install and $135,000 per year to maintain. Design 4R will cost $3.7 million to install and $55,000 per year to maintain. Determine which design should be selected based on a rate of return analysis if TxDOT uses a MARR of 6% per year and a 20-year project period. The rate of return is Design (Click to select) is selected. (Click to select) 28 4R %. 2B

A new production system for a factory is to be purchased and installed for $151.910. This system will save approximately 300.000 kwh of electric power each year for a 6-year period. Assume the cost of electricity is $0.10 per kwh, and factory MARR is 15% per year, and the salvage value of the system will be $9.222 at year 6. Using the PW method to analyzes if this investment is economically justified A-calculate the PW of the above investment and insert the result below.

Rincon, LLC is considering a project that will require an initial investment of $750,000 with estimated net income of $135,000 per year for 10 years. (a) Determine the IROR, PI, and PW values at MARR = 12% per year. (b) For which of these measures is the project economically justified? (c) Reflect on the answers above and the breakeven i*. Is there any MARR value that will cause any of the three measures to result in different conclusions about the economic viability of the project? Explain your answer.
