Q20. Two roadway designs are under consideration for access to a permanent suspension bridge. Design 1A will cost $3 million to build and $100,000 per year to maintain. Design 1B will cost $3.5 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain. Both designs are assumed to be permanent. Use an AW-based rate of return equation to determine (a) the breakeven ROR and (b) which design is preferred at an MARR of 10% per year. a) The breakeven ROR is Not attempted %. b) At an MARR of 10% per year, design 1B Correct is preferred.
Use the information contained below to compress one time unit per move using the leastcost method. Assume the total indirect cost for the project is $700 and there is a savingsof $50 per time unit reduced. Record the total direct, indirect, and project costs for eachduration. What is the optimum cost-time schedule for the project? What is the cost?
Consider the relative costs of a timber pedestrian bridge and a steel one; their initial capital costs, annual OMR costs and useful lives are given below: Initial capital cost Annual OMR cost Life span Timber Bridge $500,000 $30,000 15 years Steel Bridge $700,000 $5000 30 years Find the alternative of the least overall costs (use i = 8%). Use both present worth and annual worth methods.

Iggy Company is considering three capital expenditure projects. Relevant data for the projects are as follows. Annual Life of Project Investment Income Project 22A $242,800 $16,840 6 years 23A 275,000 20,680 9 years 24A 282,000 15,700 7 years Annual income is constant over the life of the project. Each project is expected to have zero salvage value at the end of the project. Iggy Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Click here to view PV table. (a)
