Engineering is considering three alternatives to satisfy an OSHA requirement for safety gates in the machine shop. Each gate will completely satisfy the requirement, so no combinations need to be considered. The first costs, operating costs, and salvage values over a 5-year planning horizon are shown below. End of Year Gate 1 Gate 2 Gate 3 0 -$15,000 -$19,000 -$24,000 1 -$6,500 -$5,600 -$4,000 2 -$6,500 -$5,600 -$4,000 3 -$6,500 -$5,600 -$4,000 4 -$6,500 -$5,600 -$4,000 5 -$6,500 + $0 -$5,600 + $2,000 -$4,000 + $5,000 What is the future worth of each alternative?

If the MARR=10%, compute the value of X that makes the alternatives equally desirable. Do not use spreadsheets.    Alternatives Machine A Machine B First cost $12,000 $20,000 Annual Operating cost   $1,400/year   X Salvage value $2,000 $3,000 Life 4 years 8 years

Required information Assume you started a sideline business in commercial photography last year using your then-owned equipment. Due to excellent success, you plan to purchase new equipment and upgrade your studio facility. First cost of equipment, $ -160,000 Annual expenses, $ per year -45,000 Annual revenue, $ per year 75,000 Determine the no-return payback period. The no-return payback period is years.

Required information PEMEX, Mexico's petroleum corporation, has an estimated budget for oil and gas exploration that includes equipment for three offshore platforms as shown. Use PW analysis to select the best alternative at a MARR of 16% per year. Platform First cost, $ million Y Z -300 -450 -510 M&O, $ million per year -320 -290 -230 Salvage value, $ million 75 50 90 Estimated life, years 20 20 20 Select platform X, Y, or Z using tabulated factors. The present worth of platform X is $- 2298.4 worth of platform Z is $- 1944.14 million, the present worth of platform Y is $- 2262.15 million, and the present million. The platform selected based on the present worth is platform Z

The Briggs and Stratton Commercial Division designs and manufacturers small engines for golf turf maintenance equipment. A robotics-based testing system with support equipment will ensure that their new signature guarantee program entitled "Always Insta-Start" does indeed work for every engine produced. First cost of equipment AOC per Year Salvage Value Estimated Life Pull System $-1,250,000 $-700,000 $105,000 8 years Push System $-2,350,000 $-500,000 $90,000 8 years Determine the salvage value for the push system that will make the company indifferent to the two systems. Also, MARR = 13% per year. The salvage value for the push system is determined to be $ in $1000 units.
