Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has just opened a new route connecting major tourist sites around Philadelphia.
The Independence Line has the following data
• A capital investment of $63 million,
• An expected operating and maintenance expenses of $11 milfon per year
• The final salvage value at the end of a 30-year life is negligible
• Revenue generated by each customer is $11.
• Assume there are 365 days in a year
• The MARR is 6% compounded annualy
What is the total annual cost of this route?
How many riders per day are needed for this route to break even?
From the data shown, determine the ESL of the equipment assuming MARR of 15%.

A potential project is currently under review. An initial investment of $87,000 would be necessary for equipment. The annual revenues and expenses are expected to be $40,000 and $19,000 each year, respectively, over the 6-year project period. The salvage value of the equipment at the end of the project period is projected to be $17,000. Assume a MARR of 9%.
Find the AW (directly - do not convert from either FW or PW - to the nearest cent).

- Bell’s Amusements purchased an expensive ride for their theme and amusement park situated within a city-owned Expo Center. Bell’s had a multiyear contract with Expo Center. The ride cost $1.35 million, installed. Gross income from the ride was $420,000 per year, with operating expenses of $120,000. Bell’s anticipated that the ride would have a useful life of 12 years, after which the net salvage value would be $0. After 4 years, the city and Bell’s were unable to come to an agreement regarding an extended contract. In order to expedite Bell’s departure, Expo Center agreed to purchase the ride and leave it in place. Right at the end of the 4th fiscal year, Expo Center paid to Bell’s the $900,000 unrecovered investment based on using straight-line depreciation.
