You have been asked to evaluate two alternatives, X and Y, that may increase plant capacity for manufacturing high-pressure hydraulic hoses. The parameters associated with each alternative have been estimated. Which one should be selected on the basis of a present worth comparison at an interest rate of 12% per year? Why is yours the correct choice? Alternative X Y First cost, $ −45,000 −58,000 Maintenance cost, $/year −8,000 −4,000 Salvage value, $ 2,000 12,000 Life, years 5 5
The initial cost of a packed-bed degassing reactor for removing trihalomethanes from potable water is $84,000. The annual operating cost for power, site maintenance, etc. is $13,000. If the salvage value of the pumps, blowers, and control systems is expected to be $9000 at the end of 10 years, the AW of the packed-bed reactor, at an interest rate of 8% per year, is closest to: (a) $−26,140 (b) $−25,518 (c) $−24,900 (d) $−13,140
