A professional mechanics who specializes in truck engines paid $46,000 for equipment that will have a $4800 salvage value after 5 years. The costs with
each usage amount to $60 per day. The income is $290 per day for his services, how many days per year must he be worked in order to break even at an
interest rate of 7% per year?
For the cash flows shown, determine the incremental cash flow between machines B
and A for (a) year 0, (b) in year 3, and (c) in year 6.

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_forwardEvaluate a combined cycle power plant on the basis of the FW method when the MARR is 12% per year.
