After Hurricane Katrina there was a need to replace outdated hydraulic flood control pumps in New Orleans. These old pumps are powered by pressurized oil and they can be replaced by a newer and more expensive type of pump that utilizes an up-to- date drive design having solid drive shafts instead of pressurized oil. Should the shafts by replaced?

Most businesses replace their computers every two to three years. Assume that a computer costs $2,000 and that it fully depreciates in 3 years, at which point it has no resale value and is thrown away. Suppose the computer did not fully depreciate but still had a $250 value at the time it was replaced. What is the minimum annual cash flow that a computer must generate to be worth the purchase? The minimum annual cash flow must be at least $

1. You are valuing a 10-acre vacant lot with a septic system and a well on site. The size adjustment factor for 10 acres is 2.23. You have found two recent sales to use as comparables. -Sale 1 is 3.5 acres in size and has a septic system and a well on site. It sold for $200,000. The corresponding size adjustment factor for 3.5 acres is 1.57. -Sale 2 is 7 acres in size and sold for $225,000. However, it does not have a septic system or a well, which will cost $50,000 total to install. The corresponding size adjustment factor for 7 acres is 1.93. CALCULATE THE RANGE OF THE VALUE OF THE 10-ACRE VACANT LOT ADJUSTED FOR SIZE, ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST $1,000. SHOW YOUR WORK

6. A certain building has an old heating system. Annual cost of heating the building is currently $26,000 on average. An energy consultant estimates that the heating bill can be reduced to $10,000 a year if $49,000 is invested to convert the old heating system to a new one. If the new heating system is adopted, there will be an extra maintenance fee of $2,000 each year. Both the old and new systems will have a zero salvage value at the end of their service lives and again both of them are expected to serve for a maximum of 20 years starting from now. What is the net annual equivalent worth for this investment in the new heating system, assuming a MARR of 11%? The annual net worth of installing the new heating system is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)
