Your facility has a 400 Hz three-phase generator that produces power for the avionics equipment in a test stand. When it becomes too costly to maintain, an exact replacement is purchased. The generator has a useful life of 10 years, costs $19,000 to purchase, plus $3,000 for delivery and installation, and depreciates at a rate of 13% per year. The generator costs $10,000 a year to operate and maintain in year 1. Thereafter, this cost increases by $1,500 per year. Your facility uses a MARR of 6%. When should the generator be replaced?

A steam generation system at a biomass-fueled power plant uses an electrostaticprecipitator (ESP) to clean its gaseous effluents. The power plant has consistently made use ofthe same type of ESP over the past several years. The installed cost of a new ESP has beenrelatively constant at $100,000. Records of operation and maintenance expenses indicate thefollowing average expenses per year as a function of the age of the ESP. The MVs of the ESP arealso reasonably well known as a function of age. Data graph in image attached. Determine the best time to replace the ESP if the MARR is 15% per year.

Required information Eight years ago, Ohio Valley Trucking purchased a large-capacity dump truck for $116,000 to provide short-haul earth- moving services. The company sold it today for $45,000. Operating and maintenance costs averaged $10,900 per year. A complete overhaul at the end of year 3 costs an extra $3600. Calculate the annual cost of the truck at i= 8% per year. The annual cost of the truck is $- 503,717 per year. 13

Problem 03.043- Shifted gradients A software company that installs systems for inventory control using RFID technology spent $680,000 per year for the past 3 years in developing their latest product. The company optimistically hopes to recover its investment in 5 years on a single contract beginning immediately (year 0). The company is negotiating a contract that will pay $255,000 now and a to-be-agreed-upon annual increase of a constant amount each year through year 5. How much must the income increase (an arithmetic gradient) each year if the company wants to realize a return of 15 00% per year? (Round the final answer to three decimal places)
Matchim's Paving is investing in a new wider paving machine that will cost $131000, which is expected to return $22500 per year of the next 12 years.
