Focus on the difference between feasible alternatives. Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 2,000 ft2 home costing $120 per ft2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $200 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 2,000 ft2 ICF home to pay back its extraconstruction cost?
A state is planning to construct a stretch of highway extending to 60 Kilometer.
The state signed a contract based on the BOT option (Build, Operate, and Transfer)
with a construction company. The construction company will finish the project in
two years (30 kilometers per year), after which it will operate the highway for
25 years. The company generates revenues by collecting a flat fees from the cars
using the highway. The following information is available:
Cost/Kilometer: 1,000,000 S
Number of cars using the highway: 500,000 car for the first year of usage,
then increase by 5% a year.
- Annual operation cost: 100,000 $ for the first year of usage, then increase by
10,000 $ every year.
The company's MARR is 8% per year.
Calculate the value of the fee charged/car so that the Net Present worth of the
project is 25,000,000 S.

The do-nothing alternative corresponds to continuing to use modular classrooms. The school can be expanded, or a new school can be built to "split the load" between the schools. User benefits come from improvements in school performance for the expanded or new schools. If a new school is built, there are more benefits because more students will be able to walk to school, the average distance for those who ride the school buses will be shorter, and the schools will be smaller and more "student friendly." The disbenefits for the expanded school are due to the impact of the construction process during the school year. The interest rate is 8%, and the life of each alternative is 20 years.
