A firm expects to install smog control equipment on the exhaust of a gasoline engine. The local smog control district has agreed to pay to the firm a lump sum of money to provide for the first cost of the equipment and maintenance during its 10-year useful life. At the end of 10 years the equipment, which initially cost $10,000, is valueless. The firm and the smog control district have agreed that the following are reasonable estimates of the end-of-year maintenance costs: Year 12 3 345 $75 100 125 150 175 Year 6 7 8 9 10 $200 225 250 275 300 Assuming interest at 6% per year, how much should the smog control district pay to the firm now to provide for the first cost of the equipment and its maintenance for 10 years?

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.

A transit system is considering buying 6 more buses to provide better service. It will cost $100,000 for buying a new bus and $15,000 per year for maintenance and operation for the following 8 years. If the city’s MARR is 8%, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost of this project? Assume the bus has no value at the end of 8 years.
