Answer to Problem 69P

Alternative A is the correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Interest Rate is 6%

A B C
Installed Cost $10,000 $15,000 $20,000
Annual Benefit 1,625 1,530 1,890
Useful Life(yrs) 10 20 20

Concept used:

RATE OF RETURN: It is a return which usually an investor gets on speculation. Investment can be done on shares, bonds etc. If rate of return is calculated for a fiscal year, then it is termed as annual rate of return.

Calculation:

Net Present worth analysis of Option- A

Formula used to calculate the present worth is given below:

PW=P+A(P/A,i,n)F(P/F,i,n) ........(1)

Here,

P is the initial cost of the alternative ($10000)

A is the uniform annual benefit ($1625)

F1is additional investment required in replacement ($10000) (in year- 10)

I is the interest rate (6%)

Substitute the values in above formula:

PW

=$10000+$1625(P/A,6%,20)$10000(P/F,6%,10)=$10000+$1625(11.470)$10000(0.5584)=$10000+$18638.75$5584=$3054.75

Thus, the present worth of the option A is $3054.75

Net present Worth Analysis of option B

Formula used to calculate the Present worth is given below:

PW=P+A(P/A,i,n)

Here,

P is the initial cost of the alternative ($15000)

A is the uniform annual benefit ($1530)

i is the interest rate (6%)

n is the time period (20 years)

Substitute the values in above formula

PW =

=$15000+$1530(P/A,6%,20)=$15000+$1530(11.470)=$15000+$17549.10=$2549.10

Thus, the present worth of the option B is $2549.10

Net Present Worth Analysis of option C

Formula used to calculate the present worth is given below:

PW=P+A(P/A,i,n)

Here,

P is the initial cost of the alternative ($20000)

A is the uniform annual benefit ($1890)

i is the interest rate (6%)

n is the time period (20 years)

Substitute the values in above formula

PW =

=$20000+$1890(P/A,6%,20)=$20000+$21678.30=$1678.30

Thus, the present worth of the analysis C is $1678.30.

Conclusion:

Using the present worth analysis, the best alternative is alternative A as the present worth of alternative A is highest among three options.

Thus alternative A is the correct answer.

To determine

ii.

Best alternative is selected.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Interest Rate is 3%.

Concept used:

RATE OF RETURN: It is a return which usually an investor gets on speculation. Investment can be done on shares, bonds etc. If rate of return is calculated for a fiscal year, then it is termed as annual rate of return.

Net present Worth Analysis of option B

Formula used to calculate the Present worth is given below:

Here,

P is the initial cost of the alternative ($15000)

A is the uniform annual benefit ($1530)

Substitute the values in above formula

PW =

=$20000+$1890(P/A,6%,20)=$20000+$21678.30=$1678.30

Thus, the present worth of the analysis C is $1678.30.

Conclusion:

Alternative A is selected.

1. Imagine a society that produces military goods and consumer goods, which we'll call "guns" and "butter." a. Draw a production possibilities frontier for guns and butter. Using the concept of opportunity cost, explain why it most likely has a bowed-out shape. b. Show a point that is impossible for the economy to achieve. Show a point that is feasible but inefficient. c. Imagine that the society has two political parties, called the Hawks (who want a strong military) and the Doves (who want a smaller military). Show a point on your production possibilities frontier that the Hawks might choose and a point the Doves might choose. d. Imagine that an aggressive neighboring country reduces the size of its military. As a result, both the Hawks and the Doves reduce their desired production of guns by the same amount. Which party would get the bigger "peace dividend," measured by the increase in butter production? Explain.
A health study tracked a group of persons for five years. At the beginning of the study, 20%were classified as heavy smokers, 30% as light smokers, and 50% as nonsmokers. Resultsof the study showed that light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die duringthe five-year study, but only half as likely as heavy smokers.A randomly selected participant from the study died during the five-year period.
