10) a) What are the probability distributions for the annual benefit and life for the following project? The annual benefit's most likely value is $7000 with a probability of 60%. There is a 30% probability that it will be $4000, and the highest value that is likely $9,000. A life of 6 years is twice as likely as a life of 9 years. b) The project has a first cost of $25,000. The firm uses an interest rate of 8%. Assume that the probability distributions for annual benefit and life are unrelated or statistically independent. Calculate the probability distribution for the PW c) The first cost of the project is $25,000. Use the expected values for annual benefits and life to estimate the present worth. Use an interest rate of 8%. d) Use the probability distribution function of the PW to calculate the EV(PW). Does this indicate an attractive project? F) Using the probability distribution for the PW, calculate the PW's standard deviation.
PLEASE USE EXCEL AND SHOW FORMULAS: A new engineer is evaluating whether to use a larger diameter pipe for a water line. The pipe will cost $376,183 more initially but will reduce pumping costs. The optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic projections for annual savings are $30,000, $20,000, and $5000, with respective probabilities of 20%, 50%, and 30%. The interest rate is equally likely to be 6% or 8% (use 7% as most likely), and the water line should have a life of 40 years. a) Find the PW for the pessimistic case, the most likely case, and the optimistic case. Then determine the Expected PW based on these. b) Find the expected annual savings and the expected interest rate. Determine the Expected PW based on these.

The demand for a product of Carolina Industries varies greatly from month to month. The probability distribution in the following table, based on the past two years of data, shows the company's monthly demand. Unit Demand Probability 300 400 500 600 0.20 0.30 0.35 0.15 (a) If the company bases monthly orders on the expected value of the monthly demand, what should Carolina's monthly order quantity be for this product? (b) Assume that each unit demanded generates $70 in revenue and that each unit ordered costs $50. How much will the company gain or lose in a month (indoitars) if it places an order based on your answer to part (a) and the actual demand for the item is 300 units?
