2. To reduce flood damage in a river valley in Southern Luzon, a flood control dam is being proposed for construction. The initial cost is estimated to be P4,600,000, with annual maintenance and inspection costs of P24,000. Every 5 years, minor reconstruction work will be undertaken on the dam at a cost of P150,000. If the dam is built, flood damage is expected to be reduced from P800,000 to P100,000 annually. Assuming the dam to be permanent and the interest rate is 8%, should the dam be built?

The average annual cost of damages caused by floods to certain subdivision located along Pasig River is estimated at P700,000. To build a gravity dam to protect the area from the floods, would cost P2,500,00.00 and would involved an annual maintenance cost of P20,000.00. With interest at 8% compounded annually, how many years will it take for the dam to pay for itself?

The Cebu City plans to increase the capacity of her existing water transmission lines. Two plans are under consideration. Plan A requires the construction of a parallel pipeline, the flow being maintained by gravity. The initial cost is P197,342,811 and the life is 40 years, with an annual operating cost of P8,450,154 for the 1st 20 years and P13,297,046 for the next 20 years. Plan B requires the construction of a booster pumping station costing P100M with the life of 40 years. The pumping equipment cost an additional amount of P25M, it has a life of 20 years and a salvage value of P2M. The annual operating cost is P5M. Using the Present Value (PV) Method and an interest of 21% cpd. annually, what is the PV of Plan A?

(engineering economics) A building was purchased by the city government with a gradual payment of Rp. 20 billion at the time of purchase and followed by Rp. 40 billion a year later. The building is expected to be used by the community for 20 years starting after the second payment is made. During operation the dam will require operational and maintenance costs of Rp. 750 million annually. Meanwhile, the benefits that will be obtained by the community as a result of these facilities can be equivalent to Rp. 5 billion per year. In addition, this facility also generates direct income of Rp. 4.7 billion per year. Alternatively, the building can be renovated prior to use. If it is going to be renovated, the city government needs to spend an additional Rp. 10 billion for the two payments as mentioned above. The operational and maintenance costs have not changed, which are still Rp. 750 million per year, while the annual income will increase to Rp. 5.6 billion. Determine alternatives without…
Q) The average annual cost of damages caused by floods to Camella subdivision is estimated to be ₱500,000. To build a gravity dam to protect the area from floods would cost ₱3,000,000 and would involve an annual maintenance cost of ₱25,000. With the interest rate of 8% compounded annually, how many years would it take for the dam to pay for itself? Solve it correctly. And not solve in excel works. Typed or handwriting use onlys.
The government has two (2) plans to deal with their water supply problem in Zamboanga. Option 1 is to build a complete water pumping plant costing P 2 Billion, which would meet all needs during the 1st 40 years. Annual maintenance costs are estimated to be at P 20M for the 1st 23 years and P 24968327 for the succeeding years, which is the difference between 40 years and 23 years. Option 2 is to build a partial water pumping plant at a cost of P 1.25 Billion, which would be sufficient for the 1st 15 years. At the end of 15 years, the pumping plant will be completed at an estimated cost of P 1.5 Billion. Annual maintenance cost is P 1.5 Million during the 1st 15 years and P3 Million for the succeeding 15 years. At 20% cpd.-a., what is the Present Value of Option 1?
The city of Zamboanga contemplates to increase the capacity of their existing water transmission lines. Two plans are under considerations. Plan A requires the construction of a parallel pipeline, the flow being maintained by gravity. The initial costs is P2, 750, 000.00 and the life is 40 years, with an annual operating cost of P5, 000.00. Plan B requires the construction of a booster pumping stations coating P1, 050, 000.00 with the life of 40 years.
