- AMT, Inc., is considering the purchase of a digital camera for the maintenance of design specifications by feeding digital pictures directly into an engineering workstation where computer-aided design files can be superimposed over the digital pictures. Differences between the tw images can be noted, and corrections, as appropriate, can then be made by design engineers. The capital investment requirement is $345,000 and the estimated market value of the system after a six-year study period is $115,000. Annual revenues attributable to the new camera system will be $120,000, whereas additional annual expenses will be $22,000. You have been asked by management to determine the IRR of this project and to make a recommendation. The corporation’s MARR is 20% per year.

- A pork processing facility is considering the installation of either a storage facility or a holding pond. A biosystems engineer has been hired to evaluate the economic trade-offs for the two alternatives. The engineer estimates the cost of the storage facility to be $213,000, with annual costs for maintenance to be $3,200 per year. She estimates the cost of the pond to be $90,000, plus $45,000 for pumps and piping, and annual operating and maintenance costs for the holding pond are estimated to be $8,500. The engineer estimates the life of the storage facility and the pond to be around 20 years but is concerned about the accuracy of this estimate. She decides to do a sensitivity analysis. Solve, a. Develop the equation that she would use to determine how sensitive the economic decision is to changes in life. Use a MARR of 15%. b. Determine which alternative is preferred for lives ranging from 15 to 25 years.AMT, Inc., is considering the purchase of a digital camera for the maintenance of design specifications by feeding digital pictures directly into an engineering workstation where computer-aided design files can be superimposed over the digital pictures.

Show whether this is a desirable investment by using the annual worth method.A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an above ground electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $17,400 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,100. A new power line will cost $26,000 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.At an interest rate of 10% per year and using an AW analysis, which alternative should be selected? The annual worth of installing solar cells is $− , and the annual worth of installing a new power line is $− . The alternative to be selected is .

The contractor estimates that it will cost P51.75 per cubic meter per kilometer to haul the asphalt paving material from the mixing plant to the job site. If site B is selected, there will be an added charge of P600 per day for a flagman and it needs 2 flagman. The job requires 50,000 cubic meters of mixed asphalt paving material. It is estimated that four months (17 weeks of five working days per week) will be required for the job. Cost Factors Site A Site B Average hauling distance 6 km 4.3 km Monthly rental of site P45,000 P225,000 Cost to setup and remove equipment P675,000 P1,125,000 Hauling expense P51.75/ Cu.m/km P51.75/ Cu.m/km a) Compare the two sites in terms of their fixed, variable, and total costs. b) For the selected site, how much profit can be made if it is paid P362.25 per cubic meter delivered to the job site?

A geosynthetic bentonite clay liner (GCL) will cost $2.0 million to install, and if it is renovated after 4 years at a cost of $400,000, its life can be extended another 2 years. Alternatively, a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane can be installed that will have a useful life of 12 years. At an interest rate of 6% per year, how much money can be spent on the HDPE liner for the two methods to break even?
