Question 3
You are considering purchasing a dump truck. The truck will cost $75,000
and have operating and maintenance costs that start at $18,000 the first
year and increases by $2,000 per year. Assume that the salvage value at
the end of five years is $22,000 and interest rate is 15%. What is the
annual and operating and maintenance costs of owning this vehicle?
K
A highway bridge is being considered for replacement. The new bridge would cost $X and would last for 24 years.
Annual maintenance costs for the new bridge are estimated to be $27,000. People will be charged a toll of $0.22 per car
to use the new bridge. Annual car traffic is estimated at 360,000 cars. The cost of collecting the toll consists of annual
salaries for six collectors at $9,000 per collector. The existing bridge can be refurbished for $1,400,000 and would need
to be replaced in 24 years. There would be additional refurbishing costs of $80,000 every five years and regular annual
maintenance costs of $17,000 for the existing bridge. There would be no toll to use the refurbished bridge. If MARR is
10% per year, what is the maximum acceptable cost (X) of the new bridge?
