The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is considering two designs for crash barriers along a reconstructed portion of 1-10. Design 2B will cost $3 million to install and $135,000 per year to maintain. Design 4R will cost $3.7 million to install and $55.000 per wear to maintain. Determine which design should be selected based on a rate of return analysis if TxDOT uses a MARR of 6% per year and a 20-year project period. The rate of return is %.

ABC Beverage, LLC, purchases its 355-ml cans in large bulk from Wald-China Can Corporation. The finish on the anodized aluminum surface is produced by mechanical finishing technologies called brushing or bead blasting. Engineers at Wald are switching to more efficient, faster, and cheaper machines to supply ABC. Use the estimates and MARR = 8% per year to select between the two alternatives.     Brush Alternative Bead Blasting Alternative P $-400,000 $-400,000 n 6 years large Salvage Value $50,000 no value  AOC Nonlabor $-60,000 in year 1, decreasing by $2500 annually starting in year 2 $-70,000 per year

The cost of the extending a certain road at Yellowstone National Park is $1.7 million. Resurfacing and other maintenance are expected to cost $350,000 every 3 years with an interest rate of 6% per year.   a) What is the Annual Worth based capitalized cost of the road?   b) How will the answer (a) change if its Salvage is expected to be $3 million at the end of its useful Life?

Blue Whale Moving and Storage recently purchased a warehouse building in Santiago. The manager has two good options for moving pallets of stored goods in and around the facility. Alternative 1 includes a 4000-pound capacity, electric forklift (P = $-30,000; n = 12 years; AOC = $-1000 per year; S = $8000), and 500 new pallets at $10 each. The forklift operator's annual salary and indirect benefits are estimated at $32,000. Alternative 2 involves the use of two electric pallet movers ("walkies") each with a 3000-pound capacity (for each mover, P = $-2000; n = 4 years; AOC = $-150 per year; no salvage) and 800 pallets at $10 each. The two operators' salaries and benefits will total $55,000 per year. For both options, new pallets are purchased now and every 2 years that the equipment is in use. (a) If the MARR is 8% per year, select the better alternative.

Ctrl 24 Calculate the perpetual equivalent annual cost (years 1 through infinity) of $5 million in year 0, $2 million in year 10, and $100,000 in years 11 through infinity. Use an interest rate of 10% per year. 27 A new bridge across the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh is expected to be permanent and will have an initial cost of $30 million. This bridge must be resurfaced every 5 years at a cost of $1 million.
