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 (i.e., the first cash flow for this expense is $396.75 at the EOY one). 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.

- The heat loss through the exterior walls of a certain manufacturing plant is estimated to cost $29000 at EOY 1. ABC Insulation, Inc., told the owner of the plant that the heat loss can be reduced by 80% if he is willing to spend $401,000 to install its innovative insulation material. The cost of heat loss is expected to rise by $2100 per year (uniform gradient) after the next year. The owner plans to keep the present building for 15 more years. Assume MARR (minimum acceptable rate of return) is 4% per year. (a) What is the present equivalent value of the cost savings in the reduction of heat loss for these 15 years?

At a point 8 years into the life of the packing (just aſter the $7000. annual cost has been assessed), a decision is to be made on the plan for the next 8 years i.e., whether to replace the packing or to continue with the existing packing.

- ← An oil refinery finds that it is necessary to treat the waste liquids from a new process before discharging them into a stream. The treatment will cost $40,000 the first year, but process improvements will allow the costs to decline by $4,000 each year. As an alternative, an outside company will process the wastes for the fixed price of $20,000/year throughout the 8 year period, payable at the beginning of each year. Either way, there is no need to treat the wastes after 8 years. Use the annual worth method to determine how the wastes should be processed. The company's MARR is 13%.

The 700 MHz signals can travel long distances and more easily penetrate walls and other obstacles. The acquisition cost is $300 million. In addition, because networks that operate in the 700 MHz range are less expensive to build than those in other portions of the spectrum, Ducks estimates annual costs of $24 million over the next 9 years and no salvage value. During the same period, the company expects to generate annual revenue of $40 million by offering television and video to mobile-phone users. Calculate the net present worth of this investment if the company's minimum attractive rate of return (discount rate) is 13% per year.arrow_forwardA diesel engine uses Type A filter and high-grade lubricating oil costing P5.50 per liter. With this filter, the oil and the filter have to be changed every 500 hours of operation, and 5 liters of oil have to be added every 100 hours. This filter cost P148 a piece. Eighty liters of oil fill the engine. Another type, filter B, costing P120 may be used with a lower grade of oil costing P4.80 per liter. However, if this filter is used, the oil and filter have to be changed every 300 hours, and 10 liters are added after each 150 hours the engine is used.
