A plant manager wants to know the present worth of the maintenance costs for a reconditioned assembly line. An industrial engineer, who designed the system, estimates that the maintenance costs are expected to be zero for the first three years, $2000 in year four, $2500 in year five, and amounts increasing by $500 each year through year 10. At an interest rate of 8% per year compounded semiannually, the value of n to use in the P/G equation is: O 14 O 10 07

Costs associated with the manufacture of miniature high-sensitivity piezoresistive pressure transducers is $81,000 per year. A clever industrial engineer found that by spending $17,000 now to reconfigure the production line and reprogram two of the robotic arms, the cost will go down to $54,000 next year and $57,000 in years 2 through 5. Using an interest rate of 12% per year, determine the present worth of the savings due to the reconfiguration. The present worth of the savings is determined to be $
Nippon Steel's expenses for heating and cooling a large manufacturing facility are expected to increase according to an arithmetic gradient beginning in year 2. If the cost is $550,000 this year (year 0) and will be $550,000 again in year 1, but then it is estimated to increase by $41,000 each year through year 12, what is the equivalent annual worth in years 1 to 12 of these energy costs at an interest rate of 9.00% per year? The equivalent annual worth is determined to be $

Levi Strauss has some of its jeans stone-washed under a contract with independent U.S. Garment Corp. If U.S. Garment's operating cost per ma- chine is $22,000 per year for years 1 and 2 and then it increases by 8% per year through year 10, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost per machine (years 1-10) at an interest rate of 10% per year?($28,029.93)
Pittsburgh Custom Products (PCP) purchased a new machine for ram-cambering large I beams. PCP expects to bend 90 beams at $1,800 per beam in each of the first 3 years, after which it expects to bend 100 beams per year at $3,000 per beam through year 11.

Annuity: Provide cashflow diagram UniCaltex owns several gas wells in Metro Manila. Revenue from the wells has been increasing according to the arithmetic gradient for the past 6 years. The revenue in year 1 from a certain well was $420,000 and it increased by $12,000 each year thereafter. Determine the equivalent Annual Worth of the revenue through year 5. Assume an interest rate of 8% per year.
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are responsible for many deaths in times of strife and war. Unmanned ground vehicles (robots) can be used to disarm the IEDs and perform other tasks as well. If the robots cost $165,000 each and the military arms unit signs a contract to purchase 3,500 of them now and another 9,000 one year from now, what is the equivalent annual cost of the contract over a 10- year period at 9% per year interest? The equivalent cost of the contract is determined to be $2254312500
The cash flow associated with a strip mining operation is expected to be $200,000 in year 1, $180,000 in year 2, and amounts decreasing by $20,000 per year through 8. At an interest rate of 12% per year, what is the equivalent annual cash flow.
An engineering technology group just purchased new CAD software for P85,000 now and annual payments of P15,000 per year for six years starting 3 years from now for annual upgrades. What is the equivalent annual cost of the all the payments made if the interest rate is 8% per year?
