A small company heats its building and spends $8,000 per year on natural gas for this purpose. Cost increases of natural gas are expected to be 10% per year starting one year from now (i.e., the first cash flow is $8,800 at EOY one). Their maintenance on the gas furnace is $345 per year, and this expense is expected to increase by 15% per year starting one year from now. If the planning horizon is 15 years, what is the total annual equivalent expense for operating and maintaining the furnace? The interest rate is 18% per year.
A small company heats its building and will spend $9,592 in year 1 on natural gas for this purpose. Cost increases of
natural gas are expected to be 9% per year starting year 2. Their maintenance on the gas furnace is going to be
$408.25 in the first year and this expense is expected to increase by 15% per year starting year 2. If the planning
horizon is 15 years, what is the total annual equivalent expense for operating and maintaining the furnace? The interest
rate is 18% per year.
(Round to nearest dollar)

Replacing half the ferrous metals in current automobiles could reduce a vehicle’s weight by 60% and fuel consumption by 30%. One impediment to using carbon fibers in cars is cost. If the justification for the extra sticker price of carbon-fiber cars is solely based on fuel savings, how much extra sticker price can be justified over a six-year life span if the carbon-fiber car would average 39 miles per gallon of gasoline compared to a conventional car averaging 30 miles per gallon?
