The city of Oak Ridge is considering the construction of a four kilometer (km) greenway walking trail. It will cost $1,000 per km to build the trail and $300 per km per year to maintain it over its 20-year life. If the city’s MARR is 7% per year, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost of this project? Assume the trail has no residual value at the end of 20 years.
An aerodynamic three-wheeled automobile (the Dart) runs on
compressed natural gas stored in two cylinders in the rear of the
vehicle. The $13,000 Dart can cruise at speeds up to 85 miles per
hour, and it can travel 90 miles per gallon of fuel. Another
two-seater automobile costs $12,000 and averages 50 miles per
gallon of compressed natural gas. If fuel costs $8.00 per gallon
and MARR is 10% per year, over what range of annual miles
driven is the Dart more economical? Assume a useful life of six
years for both cars.
