If the cost of gasoline is $2.50 per gallon, how far out of your way (one way) could you afford to drive (in miles) to a service station that has gasoline at $2.25 per gallon if your vehicle gets 30 miles per gallon and you will fill up with 20 gallons of fuel? Consider only the cost of gasoline in vehicle driving cost. (Hint: Since you are going out of your way, you have to drive back the same distance.)

- An executive receives an annual salary of P400,000 and his secretary a salary P100,000 a year. A certain task can be performed by the executive, working alone, in 4 hours. If he delegates the task to his secretary t will require him 30 minutes to explain the work and another 45 minutes to check the finished work. Due to the unfamiliarity of the secretary to do the Task it takes her an additional time of 6 hours after being instructed. Considering salary cost only, determine the cost of performing the task by each method, if the secretary works 2,400 hours a year and the executive 3,000 hours a year.arrow_forwardThe price of a car you want is $36,000 today.

- Calculate the amount of water required (kg/hr) in a heat exchanger that cools down 100 kg/h of corn slurry from 90 °C to 30 °C. The slurry contains 30% solids from a corn variety having 70% starch, 10% protein, 4% oil, 10% fiber and 6% ash on a dry basis. The inlet water temperature is 10 °C and the heated water temperature is not to exceed 40 °C. The datum temperature for this problem should be assumed to be 10 °C? Q. 2.

Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-frame home in Vermont. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-frame home. A typical 2,000 square-foot home costs $120 per square foot to build with wood framing in Vermont and costs $200 per month (on average) to heat or cool.What is the IRR on the incremental investment in an equivalent-sized ICF home?

- Pure gasoline has an energy density of 115,600 BTU per gallon while ethanol has an energy density of 75,670 BTU per gallon. If gasoline costs $3.50 per gallon, (a) what would the cost of pure ethanol have to be in order for the energy costs of the two fuels to break even? (b) What would the price of E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline) have to be for its energy cost to be the same as that of pure gasoline?arrow_forwardOregon Ducks, Inc. is considering buying licenses for 12 megahertz of wireless spectrum in the 700 MHz range, which is suitable for delivering television to mobile phones. The 700 MHz signals can travel long distances and more easily penetrate walls and other obstacles. The acquisition cost is $300 million. In addition, because networks that operate in the 700 MHz range are less expensive to build than those in other portions of the spectrum, Ducks estimates annual costs of $24 million over the next 9 years and no salvage value. During the same period, the company expects to generate annual revenue of $40 million by offering television and video to mobile-phone users. Calculate the net present worth of this investment if the company's minimum attractive rate of return (discount rate) is 13% per year.arrow_forwardThe price for obtaining a cubic reactor of 1.2 m length was 2000 $ in 2013 (and the instillation cost is 30% of its price).

- A grader will be used to maintain 3 miles of haul road. It is estimated the work will require removing ruts with two passes in first gear, leveling the road with two passes in second gear, and final shaping of the road with three passes in fourth gear, Use an efficiency factor of 60%. Grader speeds are provided in the chart. Estimate the time requirement for this task.arrow_forwardSince many U.S. Navy aircraft are at or near their usual retirement age of 30 years, military officials want a precise system to assess when aircraft should be taken out of service. A computational method developed at Carnegie Mellon maps in 3-D the microstructure of aircraft materials in their present state so that engineers can test them under different conditions of moisture, salt, dirt, etc. Military officials can then determine if an aircraft is fine, is in need of overhaul, or should be retired. If the 3-D system allows the Navy to use one airplane 2 years longer than it normally would have been used, thereby delaying the purchase of a $20 million aircraft for 2 years, what is the present worth of the assessment system at an interest rate of 8% per year?arrow_forwardYou purchased a bond with a face value of $5,000 five years ago for $4,750.
