! Required information An airport Baggage Handing Department has evaluated two proposals for baggage delivery conveyor systems. A present worth analysis at i = 15% per year of estimated revenues and costs resulted in PWA = $460,000 and PWB = $395,000. In addition to this economic measure, three more attributes were independently assigned a relative importance score from 0 to 100 by the department manager and a senior team supervisor. Importance Scores Manager 45 Attribute Economics Durability Safety Maintainability 35 30 20 Attribute Economics Durability Safety Maintainability Separately, you have used the four attributes to value rate the two proposals on a scale of 0 to 1.0 as shown in the following table. (The economic attribute was rated using the PW values.) Value Rating Proposal A 1.00 0.35 1.00 0.25 Importance Scores Supervisor 40 35 Select the better proposal using the following method.

Four mutually exclusive service alternatives are under consideration for automating a manufacturing operation. The alternatives were ranked in order of increasing initial investment and then compared by incremental rate of return analysis. The rate of return on each increment of investment was less than the MARR. Which alternative should be selected?
In general, the IRR comparison method and the PW comparison method Question options: A produce the same decisions for independent projects but not for mutually exclusive projects B produce the same decisions for mutually exclusive projects but not for independent projects C produce different decisions for both independent projects and mutually exclusive projects D produce the same decisions for both independent projects and mutually exclusive projects E produce the same decisions for projects with unequal lives
In capital budgeting, when the present worth over the respective life of each project is used to select independent projects, all positive net cash flows are assumed to be: (a) Reinvested at the MARR through the end of the shortest-lived project (b) Reinvested at the internal rate of return of the project through the end of the longest-lived project (c) Reinvested at the MARR through the least common multiple of years of all of the projects (d) Reinvested at the MARR through the end of the longest-lived project
Define the term Net Present Worth in the present worth analysis?
Three independent project R, S, & T. If the PW of these projects at MARR is as follows: PWS= $80,000, PWR = -$50,000, PWT = $70,000. Write down the bundles that you can be immediately excluded from the analysis.
Consider the following investment opportunity: Capital Investment (End of Year 0) Expenses (per year) Revenues (geometric series) $450,000 $25,000 $60,000 in the first year, increasing 5% per year following Market value (End of Year 20) Study Period (years) MARR (per year) $90,000 20 years 10% 10% Interest Table
Why is it financially unhealthy for an individual to maintain a large percentage of debt financing over a long period of time, that is, to be highly leveraged?
Based on PW values, determine which of the following independent projects should be selected for investment if $240,000 is available and the MARR is 10% per year.
