Problem 3-11: The purchase price of a natural gas-fired commercial boiler (Capacity X) was $ 181000 eight years ago. Another boiler of the same basic design, except with capacity 1.42X, is currently being considered for purchase. If it is purchased, some optional features presently costing $28000 would be added for your application. If the cost index was 162 for this type of equipment when the capacity X boiler was purchased and is 221 now, and the applicable cost capacity factor 0.8 what is your estimate of the purchased price for the new boiler?

Six years ago, an 80-kW diesel-electric set cost $145,000. The cost index for this class of equipment six years ago was 187 and is now 194. The plant engineering staff was considering a 120-kW unit of the same general design to power a small isolated plant that would have cost $200,145. Based on the information above the plant engineering staff is considering a 100-kW unit of the same general design to power a small isolated plant. Assume we want to add a pre-compressor, which (when isolated and estimated separately) currently costs $10,000. Determine the total cost of the 100-kW unit.

You are considering purchasing a compact washing machine, and you have the following information: • The Energy Guide claims an estimated yearly electricity use of 350 kW-hrs, based on 8 loads of laundry being washed per week. • The Energy Guide claims an estimated yearly operating cost of $38. This estimate is based on $0.1065 per kW-hr, and eight loads of laundry being washed per week. • Local electricity costs $0.086 per kW-hr. • You wash four loads of laundry per week. Based on this information, first calculate the energy that would be used by this compact washing machine in a year. Then calculate the yearly energy cost. $3.27 $15.34 $19.00 $178.40

A machine cost $45,000 to purchase. Fuel, oil grease,and minor maintenance are estimated to cost $12.34 peroperating hour. A set of tires cost $3,200 to replace, andtheir estimated life is 2,800 use hours. A $6,000 majorrepair will probably be required after 4,200hr of use. Themachine is expected to last for 8,400 hr, after which itwill be sold at a price equal to 10% of the originalpurchase price. A final set of new tires will not bepurchased before the sale. How much should the ownerof the machine charge per hour of use, if it is expectedthat the machine will operate 1,400 hr per year? Thecompany’s capital rate is 7%.
