Chapter 5, Problem 36P
A parking garage has a capital investment cost of $2.1 million (not including land). One year later $1.2 million will be spent on finishing work on the garage. It will cost $2 million to tear down and dispose of the garage at the end of its 25-year useful life. If the MARR is 25% per year, what is the capital recovery cost of the garage? (5.5)

You have received the proposal to invest $1,000,000 in exchange for receiving income of
$75,000 at the end of the first month that would decrease 0.3% each month starting from the
2nd month. Expenses are estimated at $25,000 at each end of the month, starting from the 1st
month. Assume that the proposal will last 5 years and that the minimum acceptable rate of
return (m) is 1.5%
per
month.

An industrial firefighting truck costs $100,000. Savings in insurance premiums and uninsured
losses from the acquisition and operation of this equipment is estimated at $60,000/yr. Salvage
value of the apparatus after 5 yrs. is expected to be $20,000. A full-time driver during operating
