A project your firm is considering for implementation has these estimated costs and revenues: an investment cost of $56417, a maintenance costs that start at $5,000 at end of year (FOY) one and increase by $1,000 for esch of the next four years, and then remain constant for the following five years; savings of $24851 per year (EOY 1-10); and finally a resale value of $31935 at EOY 10 If the project has a 10 year life and the firm's MARR is 10% per yeat, what is the present worth of the project?.
an engineer knows that the supplier of their set-5100 laser surface metrology system used on one of their lines superseded their 5100 model with the 5105. the new model has a net cost of $420000. adding the new 5105 model to the production line would in decrease scrap rate estimated to save 630000 in the first year. the rate of return for on the set-5105 purchase is 13% MEMD IS 15% what is the opportunity cost
A diesel engine uses type A filter and high end lubricating oil costing $5.50 per liter. With this filter the oil and filter have to be change every 500 hours of operation, and 5 liters of oil have to be added every 100 hours. This filter costs $148 per piece. 80 liters of oil fill the engine.
Another type, Filter B, costing $120 may be used with a lower grade of oil costing $4.80 per liter. However if this filter is used, the oil and the filter had to be change every 300 hrs and 10 liters are added after each 150 hrs the engine is used. Which type of filter would you recommend?
