The PW-based relation for the incremental cash flow series to find A/* between the lower first-cost alternative X and alternative Y has been developed. 0 = -38,000 + 9000 (P/A,Ai*,10) + (-5000(P/F,Ai*,10)) Determine the highest MARR value for which Y is preferred over X. Any MARR value less than | % favors Y.

Equipment needed at Valero Corporation refinery for the conversion of corn stock toethanol, a cleaner burning gasoline additive, will cost $175,000 and have net cashflows of $35,000 the first year, increasing by $10,000 per year over the life of 5 years.Develop a spreadsheet chart that plots AW vs interest rate to show where (what interestrate) the project switches from financially justified to unjustified. Use AW as the verticalaxis of the chart, and interest (i) as the horizontal axis of the chart. Use a range ofinterest rates spanning from 10% to 20%, and use increments of 1%. Label both axesand use a title for the chart.

Nadine Chelesvig has patented her invention. She is offering a potential manufacturer two contracts for the exclusive right to manufacture and market her product. Plan A calls for an immediate single lump sum payment to her of $175,000. Plan B calls for an annual payment of $14,000 plus a royalty of $3.90 per unit sold. The remaining life of the patent is 10 years. Nadine uses a MARR of 10%/year. What must be the uniform annual sales volume of the product for Nadine to be indifferent between the contracts, based on an units annual worth analysis? Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest unit. The tolerance is ±10.
