During the 3-year construction period, the contractor will need to run a generator to power the construction. Cost analysis from previous projects indicates: Generator Brand Installed Cost Cost per Hour A $22M $500 B $23M $400 C $25M $250 D $30M $150 At the end of 3 years, the generator will have a salvage value equal to the cost of removing them. The generator will operate 6,000 hours per year. The lowest interest rate at which the contractor is willing to invest money is 7%. (The minimum required interest rate for invested money is called the minimum attractive rate of return, or MARR.) Select the alternative with the least present worth of cost.

- Dexcon Technologies, Inc., is evaluating two alternatives to produce its new plastic filament with tribological (i.e., low friction) properties for creating custom bearings for 3-D printers. The estimates associated with each alternative are shown below. Using a MARR of 8% per year, which alternative has the lower present worth?arrow_forwardA delivery car had a first cost of $34,000, an annual operating cost of $15,000, and an estimated $5000 salvage value after its 6-year life. Due to an economic slowdown, the car will be retained for only 4 years and must be sold now as a used vehicle. At an interest rate of 12% per year, what must the market value of the used vehicle be in order for its AW value to be the same as the AW if it had been kept for its full life cycle? The market value of the used vehicle is determined to be $ 26423arrow_forwardFor the cash flows shown, use an annual worth comparison and an interest rate of 12% per year. a) Determine the alternative that is economically best. b) Determine the first cost required for each of the two alternatives not selected in part a) so that all 3 alternatives are equally acceptable.arrow_forward
