- Please solve this question. There are two alternatives for a construction firm to purchase a road roller which will be used for the construction of a highway section. The cash flow details of the alternatives are as follows; Alternative-1: Initial purchase cost = Rs.1,500,000, Annual operating cost = Rs.35,000 starting from the end of year “2” (negligible in the first year) till the end of useful life, Annual revenue to be generated = Rs.340,000 for first 4 years and then Rs.320,000 afterwards till the end of useful life, Expected salvage value = Rs.430,000, Useful life = 8 years. Alternative-2: Initial purchase cost = Rs.1,800,000, Annual operating cost = Rs.25,000, Annual revenue to be generated = Rs.365,000, Expected salvage value = Rs.550,000, Useful life = 8 years. Evaluate these alternatives & find out the most economical alternative on the basis of equivalent future worth at the interest rate of 9.5% per year.arrow_forwardTransportation engineeringarrow_forwardGiven the list of construction activities for your newly-acquired residential project.
