Chapter 7, Problem 47P
AMT, Inc., is considering the purchase of a digital camera for maintenance of design specifications by feeding digital pictures directly into an engineering workstation where computer-aided design files can be superimposed over the digital pictures. Differences between the two images can be noted, and corrections, as appropriate, can then be made by design engineers. (7.12)

A young engineer is considering establishing his own company. An investment pfP500,000 will be required, which will be recovered in 15 ears. It is estimated that sales will be P800,000 per year and the operating expenses will be as follows: Materials P160.000 per year Labor P280.000 per vear Overhead P40.000 + 10% of sales per year Selling expenses P60,000 per year The engineer will give up his regular job paying P216,000 per year and devote full time to the operation of the business; this will result in decreasing labor cost by P40,000 per year, material cost by P28,000 per year, and overhead cost by P32,000 per year. If the engineer expects to earn at least 20% of his capital, should he invest? (Use ROR method for your solution)
Jane Livingston, an industrial engineer at Energy Conservation Service, hasfound that the anticipated profitability of a newly developed water-heaterthe temperature-control device can be measured by net present worth as PW = 5.63V(4.3X - $15) - 33,580 where Vis the number of units produced and sold and X is the sales price per unit. She also found that the V parameter value could occur anywhere in the range of 1,500 to 5,000 units and the X parameter value anywhere between $10 and $35 per unit. Develop a sensitivity graph as a function of the number of units produced and sales price per unit.

- A steam generation system at a biomass-fueled power plant uses an electrostaticprecipitator (ESP) to clean its gaseous effluents. The power plant has consistently made use ofthe same type of ESP over the past several years. The installed cost of a new ESP has beenrelatively constant at $100,000. Records of operation and maintenance expenses indicate thefollowing average expenses per year as a function of the age of the ESP. The MVs of the ESP arealso reasonably well known as a function of age. Data graph in image attached. Determine the best time to replace the ESP if the MARR is 15% per year.arrow_forwardBig Bro manufacturing company purchased a delivery van having a cost of P900 000.00, a life of eight years and a salvage value of P75 000.

- A carton packaging manufacturer considers 2 alternative machines in its production process, namely automatic machines and semi-automatic machines. The price of the automatic machine is Rp. 23 billion with an estimated salvage value of Rp. 4M after 10 years. If an automatic machine is selected, an operational cost of Rp. 12 million per hour and a maintenance fee of IDR 3.5 billion per year. While the engine output is 8 tons per hour. Semi-automatic machines can be purchased for Rp. 8M with an estimated useful life of 5 years, without salvage value. If a semi-automatic machine is selected, an operational cost of Rp. 24 million per hour and a maintenance fee of Rp. 1.5M per year. While the engine output is 6 tons per hour.

- PEFORMING ROR ANALYSIS FOR 3D PRINTER AND IIOT TECHNOLOGY Background Software used in 3D printer systems manufactured by Spectrum LASER Corp. is currently able to automatically develop hollows, shells, and "tree supports to save development time. Network printing for use on multiple machines and at different locations globally is available. New software, called JIT II, is being beta tested that will allow lloT-type (Industrial Internet of Things) connections between machines at distant locations. When onb oard monitoring sensors detect that a part is about to fail, or it is time to replace one of several high-profile parts, the JIT Il software will automatically queue the part's manufacturing code onto a 3D printer that is detected to be locally idle or ready. The company believes it can design and produce the JIT Il software, the 3D printers, and the accompanying computer equipment necessary to place this technology in a wide variety of harsh environments-chemically toxic to humans,…arrow_forwardA machine used for cutting materials in a factory has the following outputs perhour at various speeds and required periodic tool regrinding at the intervals cited .Speed Output per hour Tool regrinding A 200 pieces Every 8 hours B 280 pieces Every 5 hours A set of tools costs P560 and can be ground twenty times.
