the next 6 years. If Mandy chooses to invest in this opportunity, what would be the IRR?
Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator.
Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to 1 decimal place. The tolerance is ±0.5.
Should Mandy invest in this opportunity if her personal MARR is 20%?
Nissan is advertising a 24-month lease on the all-electric Leaf for $190 payable at the beginning
of each month.
The lease requires a $2000 down payment plus the first months payment on signing. No
security deposit is required.
The lessee pays for maintenance, excess wear and tear, and $0.18 per mile over 12,000 miles
per year.
Lease end purchase option is $17500 and lease payments total $4560.
A disposition fee of $350 is due at the end of the lease period.
Assuming an interest rate of 6% compounded monthly, what is the total cost of leasing if you
put 40,000 miles at the end of lease?

- An area can be irrigated by pumping water from a nearby river. Two competing installations are being considered. The MARR is 12% per year and electric power for the pumps costs $0.06 per kWh. Recall that 1 horsepower (hp) equals 0.746 kilowatts. (11.2, 11.3) a. At what level of operation (hours per year) would you be indifferent between the two pumping systems? If the pumping system is expected to operate 2,000 hours per year, which system should be recommended? b. Perform a sensitivity analysis on the efficiency of Pump A. Over what range of pumping efficiency is Pump A preferred to Pump B? Assume 2,000 hours of operation per year, and draw a graph to illustrate your answer.arrow_forwardA vertical oil well has been drilled and completed. The productive zone is between the depths of 2,800 and 2,900 feet, you can assume there is oil in the entire thickness (gross = net).

Other reservoirs with similar properties have drainage areas of 40 acres and the recovery factor 10.47305% (it is known with extreme precision!) a) Compute STOIIP and ultimate recovery, using the formals presented in lecture b) This well will also have a gas oil ratio (GOR) of 800 scf/bbl, how much gas is expected to be produced from this well?arrow_forwardYou and your friends have decided to build a skateboard ramp behind your house. You have already purchased $500 in materials and are considering renting an electric saw.It costs $20/hr to rent an electric saw. You estimate it will take 6 hours to build the ramp. If you decide to use your saw, which is a handsaw, you will not have to pay anything to rent an electric saw, but it will take 15 hours to build the ramp. Regardless of the decision, you will need to ask for time off from your job, which pays $8/ hour.arrow_forward

Miguel estimates that installing new windows would cost $11,000 and would save him $2,000 per year in energy costs. Assume a MARR of 10% and a useful life of 10 years.

The tolerance is ±10.arrow_forwardA company uses a variable speed honing machine to increase the smoothness of the inside walls of hydraulic jacks. The hone uses acid-dipped “brushes” to perform this operation. Increasing the speed of the machine results in faster operation, but reduces brush life. A single “brush” costs $90.00 and can be refurbished several times before its useful life is over. The number of refurbishings depends on the honing speed. Each refurbishing costs $30.00. Assume a refurbished brush can smooth the same amount as a new brush, and that when purchased a new brush is ready to use. The operating cost for the hone and operator is $70.00/hr. Below are the data for operating the hone at 3 different speeds. The time required for changing brushes is incorporated into the honing rates below. Which honing speed is the most economical? Hint: find the cost per jack, not per hone or per cycle!arrow_forward
