A firm spent $2 million for new equipment that reduces greenhouse gases in their operations. The process improvement saved them $14,000 in the first month. (a) What is the first month’s rate of return on this investment? Express that value on an annual effective basis. (b) If this investment was judged not to make economic sense, should some entity pay to reduce such emissions? Who and why?
The product development group of a high-tech electronics company developed five proposals for new products. The company wants to expand its product offerings, so it will undertake all projects that are economically attractive at the company’s MARR of 20% per year. The cash flows (in $1000 units) associated with each project are estimated. Which projects, if any, should the company accept on the basis of a present worth analysis? Project A B C D E Initial investment, $ −400 −510 −660 −820 −900 Operating cost, $/year −100 −140 −280 −315 −450 Revenue, $/year 360 235 400 605 790 Salvage value, $ — 22 — 80 95 Life, years 3 10 5 8 4
An engineering firm has identified five ways to cut costs in its main office. Only one of the options can be implemented, however, since each involves significant training time for staff engineers. Data are provided in the table. Each option has a lifetime of seven years, and the firm sets a MARR at 15%.

The cash flows for the following four alternatives are given below. You may assume the benefits occur throughout the year rather than just at the end of the year. Based upon payback period, the alternative that should be selected is given by the following option: Year A B C D 0 -$1000 -$900 -$950 -$2783 1 200 100 350 1200 2 200 200 350 1200 3 1200 300 350 1200 4 1200 300 350 1200 5 1200 700 350 1200 Group of answer choices B C A Select none D
