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.

Answer to Problem 69P

Alternative A 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:

=$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.
