A large water utility is planning to upgrade its SCADA system for controlling well pumps, booster pumps, and disinfection equipment for centralized monitoring and control. Phase I will reduce labor and travel costs by $28,000 per year. Phase II will reduce costs by an additional $20,000 per year, that is $48,000. If phase I savings occur in years 0, 1, 2, and 3 and phase II savings occur in years 4 through 10, what is the present worth of the upgraded system in years 1 to 10 at an interest rate of 8% per year?
Pittsburgh Custom Products (PCP) purchased a new machine for ram-cambering large I beams. PCP expects to bend 90 beams at
$1,800 per beam in each of the first 3 years, after which it expects to bend 100 beams per year at $2,600 per beam through year 9.
If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 17% per year, what is the present worth of the expected revenue?
The present worth of the expected revenue is $
A large water utility is planning to upgrade its system for controlling well pumps, booster pumps, and disinfection equipment, so that everything can be controlled from one site. The first phase will reduce labor and travel costs by $14,000 per year. The second phase will reduce costs by $9,000 per year. If phase I savings occur from the start up to year 3 and phase II occurs in years 4 through 10, what is the equivalent annual worth of the upgraded system in years 1 though 10 at an interest rate of 8% per year?
