The City of Zamboanga contemplates to increase the capacity of the existing water transmission lines. Two plans are under consideration. Plan A requires the construction of a parallel pipeline, the flow being maintained by gravity. The initial cost of the pipeline is P2,750,875 and the life of 40 years and will have a salvage value of P285,874, with an annual operating cost of P6,875 and maintenance cost of P10,845. Plan B requires the construction of a pipeline costing P2,002,369 with the life of 40 years. Plan B requires pumping equipment which cost an additional amount of P358,745, it has a life of 10 years and an annual operating cost of P22,954 and maintenance cost of P14,532. Assuming interest rate is 12.354%, determine the following: A.)Present worth of Plan B. B.)Annual Cost of Plan A. C.)Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost of Plan B.
