Restoring balance to the nitrogen cycle is one of the challenges facing engineers. Improving the effectiveness and economical use of fertilizer has been identified as an important step in the right direction. Engineers have designed an improved way to transport fertilizer and then to apply it directly at the point where crops are grown. Further development, assessment, and optimization of the necessary equipment is estimated to require $220,000 in year 1, increasing by a gradient of $80,000 in each of years 2, 3, and 4. Then, it will begin to decrease by $95,000 in years 5, 6, 7, and 8. Interest is 14% per year. Part c What gradient series, beginning with the $220,000 in year 1 is equivalent to these cash flows?

! Required information Eight years ago, Ohio Valley Trucking purchased a large- capacity dump truck for $102,000 to provide short-haul earth-moving services. The company sold it today for $45,000. Operating and maintenance costs averaged $10,200 per year. A complete overhaul at the end of year 4 costs an extra $3600. Calculate the annual cost of the truck at i = 8% per year. The annual cost of the truck is $- per year.
A small company heats its building and spends $8,000 per year on natural gas for this purpose. Cost increases of natural gas are expected to be 10% per year starting one year from now (i.e., the first cash flow is $8,800 at EOY one). Their maintenance on the gas furnace is $345 per year, and this expense is expected to increase by 15% per year starting one year from now (i.e., the first cash flow for this expense is $396.75 at the EOY one). If the planning horizon is 15 years, what is the total annual equivalent expense for operating and maintaining the furnace? The interest rate is 18% per year.

The local bank pays 4% interest on savings deposits. In a nearby town, the bank pays 1% per quarter. A man who has $3000 to deposit wonders whether the higher interest paid in the nearby town justifies driving there What sum of money now is equivalent to $8250 two years hence, if interest is 4% per 6-month period? The answer is closest to: Hint : 4% per 6 month means semi annual periods so the n does not equal 2 anymore ! $8,923 $7,052 $8,580 $9,651

A regional infrastructure building and maintenance contractor must decide to buy a new compact horizontal directional drilling (HDD) machine now, or wait and buy it 2 years from now when the a large pipeline contract will require the new equipment. The HDD machine will include an innovative pipeloader design and maneuverable undercarriage system. The cost of the system is $68,000 if purchased now or an estimated $81,000 if purchased 2 years from now. At i= 12% per year and f = 5% per year Determine if the contractor should buy now or later: (а) Without any adjustment for inflation (Б) With inflation considered
A coal-fired power plant has upgraded an emission control valve. The modification costs only $10,000 and is expected to last 8 years. The maintenance cost is expected to be high at $1000 the first year, increasing by 12% per year thereafter. Determine the equivalent present worth of the modification and maintenance cost by hand at 12% per year. Answer: POTotal = $ Blank 1
UNIFORM ARITHMETIC GRADIENT. SHOW CASHFLOW DIAGRAM. DO NOT USE EXCEL. A parcel of land in a downtown area, suitable for parking lot, can be leased for a period of 10 years. Initial development costs for clearing, paving and constructing a small office shed on the lot is estimated to be P150,000. If the net annual revenue for the first year is P22,000 and increases by 10% per year thereafter until the tenth year, and the improvements revert to the owner of the land at the end of 10 years, what is the rate of return on the investment?
