Problem #2 (2/10): A new packaging machine will save Greene Cheese Ltd. $3000 per year in reduced spoilage, save $5000 per year in labour, and save $4000 per year in packaging material. The new machine will have additional expenses of $1500 per year in maintenance and $500 per year in energy. If it costs $68,000 to purchase, what is its payback period? Assume that the savings are earned throughout the year, not just at year end
JUST ANSWER FROM PART B(IV) !!!THANKS
You are weighing the economics of installing a triple-glazed energy efficient window system in your building. The following life cycle costs and savings are provided. The study period is 25 years, and the discount rate is 10%. Is this an economically viable approach based on the Savings-to-Investment Ratio (SIR)? Triple- Glazed Energy Efficient Windows: Window Quantity takeoff: 10000 sf Initial Cost: $100/sf Annual Operating Costs: $2.5/sf Annual Energy Saving: $10/sf

1. The project is to construct a lateral canal that will provide irrigation for 150 ha production area along the ricefields of Villaverde and it is being considered by the municipality. The locality has two (wet and dry) croppings. A one (1) ha ricefarm yields 90 cavans for rainfed areas. The following costs have been identified. Land: 800 meters long x 6 meters parcel of land at Php 950.00 per ha 4,500,000.00 500,000.00 250,000.00 Construction: Annual O&M (government): Annual O&M (farmer irrigators): Rental receipts from irrigators: Convenience to farmers: 17 cav/ha 500,000.00 22% Yield increase: Neglecting other factors associated with production yield increase, determine the B/C ratio of the project with a MARR of 10% per year if the project is to be used for 25 years. Is the project acceptable?
Project informatioFyped Answers only In the table below presented the data on the investment in the renewable energy source (wind farm). This wind farm will be located in the scenic area (has a visual impact on the communities close by). Costs are estimated as follows: Construction cost = $750,000 Maintenance cost = $5,000 per year for the next 15 years Cost of dismantling at the end of 15-year lifespan = $35,000 Compensation for view loss = $25 annually per household for 2,000 household Benefits as follows: Market value of electricity = $150,000 per year Directions: 1. Construct the table for CBA analysis 2. Calculate present value (PV) of costs and benefits using the CBA table 3. Conduct a CBA test (as difference between present value of benefits and costs) 4. Make a decision on investment (Yes/No)

Problem 1 (What is the solution for this?) A corporation sold an issue of 20-year bonds, having a total face value of 10,000,000 Php for 9,500,000 Php. The bonds bear interest at 16%, payable semiannually. The company wishes to establish a sinking fund for retiring the bond issue and will make semiannual deposits that will earn 12%, compounded semiannually. Compute the annual cost for interest and redemption of these bonds. Ans should be: 1,730,000

build a modelAn industrial park is being planned for a tract of land near a river. To prevent flood damage to the industrial buildings that will be built on this low-lying land, an earthen embankment can be constructed. The height of the embankment will be determined by an economic analysis of the costs and benefits.The following data have been gathered (Tables 1 and 2). The embankment is expected to last 40 years and will require no maintenance.Whenever the flood water flows over the embarkment, a $310,000 in annual damages occur. The corporation uses an interest rate of 15% a) if they build the embarkment, what height should it have?
