Irrigation canals are proposed to be built in an arid region. The initial cost is estimated to be P2,500,000 with annual maintenance and operation cost of P48,000. For maximum efficiency, the canal will be dredged every 5 years at a cost of P50,000. Annual income from farmers and cooperatives who benefit from the project is expected to be P320,000. Assuming an annual interest rate of 9% and a 30-year planning horizon, detemine whether the project should ne undertaken.

Littrell's Nursery needs a new irrigation system. System one will cost $145,000, have annual maintenance costs of $10,000, and need an overhaul at the end of year six costing $30,000. System two will have first year maintenance costs of $5,000 with increases of $500 each year thereafter. System two would not require an overhaul. Both systems will have no salvage value after 12 years. If Littrell's cost of capital is 4%, using annual worth analysis determine the maximum Littrell's should be willing to pay for system two.

Solve by incremental cashflow then PW = 0. To get the value of i by interpolation. Problem 3: Two plans for a hydroelectric project in Peru have been proposed. The opportunity cost, in soles, of resources is 10 percent. Data on the two alternatives are: System First cost ($/,000,000,000) 300 160 Economic life (years) 40 20 Salvage value ($/,000,000,000) 15 12 Annual benefits (S/.000,000,000) 25 22 Annual costs ($/,000,000,000) 3 1 Using the internal rate of return method, which of the two systems should be chosen or should either be selected?

3. Two electric motors are being considered to power an industrial hoist. Each is capable of providing 100 hp. Pertinent data for each motor are as follows: Motor A Motor B Investment Php 27,300 Php 35,000 Electrical efficiency 85% 89% Maintenance per year Php 450 Php 670 Life, years 10 10 Money is worth 19%. If the expected usage of the hoist is 720 hours per year, what would the cost of electrical power have to be before Motor A is favored over Motor B? (Answer is in Php per kwh.)
