You purchased a building five years ago for $200,000. Its annual maintenance expense has been $15,000 per year. At the end of three years, you spent $55,000 on roof repairs. At the end of five years (now), you sell the building for $250,000. During the period of ownership, you rented out the building for $60,000 per year paid at the beginning of each year. If your MARR is 8% per year. a) Use the PW and AW methods to evaluate this investment. b) Calculate IRR and ERR(( E=MARR). (Upload the picture of your complete solutions including the correct cash flow diagram and your conclusion.)

Nowadays it is very important to reduce one's carbon "footprint" (how much carbon we produce in our daily lifestyles). Minimizing the use of fossil fuels and instead resorting to renewable sources of energy (e.g., solar energy ) are vital to a "sustainable" lifestyle and a lower carbon footprint. Let's consider solar panels that prewarm the water fed to a conventional home water heater. The solar panels have an installed cost of $2694, and they reduce the homeowner's energy bill by $29 per month. The residual value of the solar panels is negligible at the end of their 9-year life. What is the annual effective IRR of this investment?
A government has decided to build a bridge. that initial cost is estimated to be 60,000,000. the annual maintenance is estimated to be 4,000,000. every ten years a minor upgrade will be needed costing 20,000,000. every 20 years a major repair and refurbishment will be 40,000,000. If the bridge is expected to last indefinitely and effective I = 6% per year what is the capitalized cost of the bridge?
A new office building is expected to produce the initial net operating income (NOI) of $10 at time 1. The NOI is expected to grow 5% per year, and the investor expects an annual IRR of 15%. If the construction cost is $90, what is the land value at time 0?
If the company's MARR is known to be 10%, is the investment justified?
Nadine Chelesvig has patented her invention. She is offering a potential manufacturer two contracts for the exclusive right to manufacture and market her product. Plan A calls for an immediate single lump sum payment to her of $175,000. Plan B calls for an annual payment of $14,000 plus a royalty of $3.90 per unit sold. The remaining life of the patent is 10 years. Nadine uses a MARR of 10%/year. What must be the uniform annual sales volume of the product for Nadine to be indifferent between the contracts, based on an units annual worth analysis? Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest unit. The tolerance is ±10.
An integrated, combined cycle power plant produces 285 MW of electricity by gasifying coal. The capital investment for the plant is $450 million, spread evenly over two years. The operating life of the plant is expected to be 18 years. Additionally, the plant will operate at full capacity 76% of the time (downtime is 24% of any given year). The MARR is 10% per year. a. If this plant will make a profit of two cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity sold to the power grid, what is the simple payback period of the plant? Is it a low-risk venture? b. What is the IRR for the plant? Is it profitable? a. The simple payback period of the plant is years. (Round up to one decimal place.) It's a venture. b. The IRR for the plant is%.

Waller County is planning to construct a Dam some tens of miles away from the Hempstead Recreation center to facilitate fishing in the El Manny River Basin and Power Generation. The first cost for the Dam will amount to $6,500,000. Annual maintenance and repairs will amount to $24,000 for the first four years, to $28,000 for each year in the next eight years, and to $32,000 per year for the next four years. At the end of the 16th year, $25,000 is estimated to be deposited into Waller county account as tax credits earned for its environmental compliance in the construction and operation of the Dam. In addition a major overhaul costing $650,000 will be required at the end of the seventh year. Use an interest rate of 10% and : a) Determine the engineering economy symbols and their value for each option. b) Construct the cash flow diagram c) Calculate the Capital Recovery for the project
3. A corporate jet costs $1,350,000 and will incur $200,000 per year in fixed costs (maintenance, licenses, insurance, and hangar rental) and $277 per hour in variable costs (fuel, pilot expense, etc.). The jet will be operated for 1,200 hours per year for five years and then sold for $650,000. The MARR is 15% per year. (a) Determine the capital recovery cost of the jet. (b) What is the EUAC of the jet?
Your firm is thinking about investing $300,000 in the overhaul of a manufacturing cell in a lean environment. Revenues are expected to be $39,000 in year one and then increasing by $13,000 more each year thereafter, Relevant expenses will be $20,000 in year one and will increase by $10,000 per year until the end of the cell's nine-year life. Salvage recovery at the end of year nine is estimated to be $10,000. What is the annual equivalent worth of the manufacturing cell if the MARR is 10% per year? How sensitive is the annual worth to ± 10% changes in the MARR? Are changes in the MARR really a significant consideration in this problem?
