Based on estimates the data for 2 types of bridges with different lives are as follows. If the minimum attractive rate of return is 9%, determine which project is more desirable using Annual Cost Method & Rate of Return Method.

Assume a project has three variables: life, first cost, and annual cost. Assume there is no salvage value. For each variable there are three possible values as listed below. The firm uses an interest rate of 8 percent to evaluate engineering projects. For each variable, determine which value is "optimistic" and which is "pessimistic". The remaining value is "most likely". Compute each variable's estimated mean (using the "optimistic/most likely/pessimistic" formula) and using those computed mean values, compute the project's expected present value cost. First cost: -$480,000, -$620,000, -$860,000 Annual cost: -$75,000, -$85,000, -$110,000 Life: 8 years, 10 years, 24 years What is Expected Net Present Worth?

PLEASE ANSWER BOTH POINTS (1 AND 2), PROPERLY BREAKDOWN POINT NUMBER 2 WITH THE CORRESPONDING OPERATIONS AND ALL THE RESULTS. InstructionsAn evaluation is needed for a sock production project that requires an initial investment of $50,000,000°, of which 80% corresponds to depreciable fixed assets, and 20% to working capital. The unit production cost is $10,000°°, and a unit sale value of $13,500°° is estimated. The market study revealed a potential demand of 20,000 units for the first year. The fixed assets are depreciated straight-line over a useful life of 10 years. Operational expenses are estimated at $4,000,000° for the first year. The fixed costs amount to $10,000,000° for the first year. The following increments are estimated: sales increase by 2% annually, variable unit cost by 3% annually, unit sale price by 3% annually, operational expenses by 6% annually, and fixed costs by 5% annually. The project has a useful life of 5 years. 1. Build the project's cash flow.2. Calculate…
The Bureau of Public Highways is considering two possible types of road surfacing with cost estimates per kilometer as follows: Турe A Туре В First Cost P500k P650k Resurfacing period 8 years 12 years Resurfacing Cost P200k P250k Average annual maintenance cost P15k P20k The periodic resurfacing do not include the base of the subgrade. Compare these types by calculating the present worth for 24 year service, with no salvage value at the end of this time using interest rate of 10%. What is the Present Worth of Alternative B?
