A 20 kW enclosed motor with a load factor of 70% and an efficiency of 87.5% will be replaced by a new 20 kW enclosed motor operating at the same load factor, but will now have a higher efficiency of 91%. How many kW of power savings will be obtained from this project?
The price for obtaining a cubic reactor of 1.2 m length was 2000 $ in 2013 (and the instillation cost is 30% of its price). If it is wanted by an investor to obtain a new one of larger size (the double) this year and to insulate it using one layer of insulation material that was cost 7 $/m² in 2013 (knowing that the cost of workers was 4 $/m² in 2013). How much will be the cost to install this new reactor? Year M&S Material Worker Index Index Index 2013 323 360 1480 587 2021 1505 600

- A copper wire has a material cost that varies proportionally with the cross-sectional area (A) according to the expression $40,000 A. This wire has a lifetime of 30 years and a salvage value of $1500 A at that time. As the cross-sectional area of the wire increases, the resistance of the wire decreases such that the energy losses in the wire also decrease. The costs of these energy losses vary indirectly with the cross-sectional area according to the expression $70,000/A. Assuming an interest of 9%, what is the optimal value for this cross-sectional area? (Chapter 6- Annual Equivalent Worth Analysis)arrow_forwardA vertical oil well has been drilled and completed.

- A company is considering supplying employees with company cars. Employee travel is expected to be a total of 30,000 miles per year for all employees. Supplying employees with company cars would involve the following cost components: Car purchase: $22,000 with an estimated 3-year life Salvage value: $5000 Insurance cost: $1000/year Operating and maintenance expenses: $0.22 per mile The company uses a MARR of 10%. The total cost per mile of providing company cars to employees is: __________ (Round the answer to two decimal places. Do not enter the dollar symbol or the words per mile in you answer. If the number is a fraction less than one, include the leading zero in the answer. eg. 0.12) The company pays employees $0.40 per mile to use their own car.

- PNG’s managers estimate that a 50% increase in price would cause an 80% reduction in the quantity of product sold. Total fixed costs for the product are $5000 and total variable costs are $4000, based on production of 400 units. The following values may be useful. 1n (0.2) = –1.609 1n (1.5) = 0.405 1n (0.5) = –0.693 1n (4000) = 8.294 1n (0.8) = –0.223 1n (5000) = 8.517 What is PNG’s price elasticity of demand? –0.252 +0.322 –3.973 +3.108arrow_forwardAn expansion of the current BIM (Building Information Model) software has been proposed to First Financial, the building’s owner. A total installed cost of $120,000 is expected to generate additional savings of $40,000 per year for 10 years, after which time the software will be replaced with no salvage value. The annual M&O cost is expected to be $10,000 the first year and increase by an arithmetic gradient G between $1000 and $5000 per year thereafter. Determine if the expanded BIM is sensitive to gradient increases of $1000 (optimistic), $3000 (most likely), and $5000 (pessimistic) per year.

The types of fuel that can be used to ignite the boiler are natural gas, fuel oil, and coal. The cost of installation including all required controls is $40,000 for natural gas, $50,000 for fuel oil, and $120,000 for coal. In addition, the annual cost of fuel oil is $8,000 less than the annual cost of natural gas and $12,000 more than the annual cost of coal. The boiler is to be utilized for 20 years and interest rate is 8%. Using the most suitable approach, determine the best alternative. Is there any other consideration for the obtained result? As one way, please solve using either Cash Flow Analysis, Present Worth Analysis, or any other similar method. As a second way, use Excel software and include all required command statements require to solve it.arrow_forward
