Two incinerators are being considered by a waste management company. Design A has an initial cost of $2,500,000, has annual oper

ating and maintenance costs of $800,000, and requires overhauls every 5 years at a cost of $1,250,000. Design B is more sophisticated, including computer controls; it has an initial cost of $5,750,000, has annual operating and maintenance costs of $600,000, and requires overhauls every 10 years at a cost of $3,000,000. Using a 5%/year interest rate, determine the capitalized cost for each design and recommend which should be chosen.

Answer:

<u>Desing A:   </u>23,024,370‬

<u>Desing B:   </u>22,520,274.6

It should purchase desing B as the capitalized cost is lower.

Explanation:

We consider annuity for the overhauls and then, perpetuity to consider this incinerators will last indefinitely.

maintenance cost: 800,000 / 0.05 = 16,000,000

<u>Overhaul: </u>

The company will need to fund 1,250,000 every 5 years. We need to determinate the annuity to obtain this future value:

FV \div \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = C\\

PV 1,250,000

time 5

rate 0.05

1250000 \div \frac{(1+0.05)^{5} -1}{0.05} = C\\

C  $  $ 226,218.498

<u>Then at perpetuity:</u>

$ 226,218.498  / 0.05 = 4,524,370

<u>Desing A capitalized cost:</u>

2,500,000 + 16,000,000 + 4,524,370 = 23,024,370‬

We do the same for Desing B:

investment: 5,750,000

maintenance: 600,000 / 0.05 = 12,000,000

overhaul:

3000000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.05)^{-10} }{0.05} = C\\

C  $ 238,513.725

238,513.73/0.05 =  4,770,274.6

Capitalized cost: 5,750,000 + 12,000,000 + 4,770,274.6 = 22,520,274.6‬

A publisher reports that 55% of their readers own a particular make of car. a marketing executive wants to test the claim that t
Dominik [7]

Based on the percentage of readers who own a particular make of the car and the random sample, we can infer that there is sufficient evidence at a 0.02 level to support the executive claim.

<h3>What is the evidence to support the executive's claim?</h3>

The hypothesis is:

Null hypothesis : P = 0.55

Alternate hypothesis : P ≠ 0.55

We then need to find the test statistic:

= (Probability found by marketing executive - Probability from publisher) / √( (Probability from publisher x (1 - Probability from publisher))/ number of people sampled

= (0.46 - 0.55) / √(( 0.55 x ( 1 - 0.55)) / 200

= -2.56

Using this z value as the test statistic, perform a two-tailed test to show:

= P( Z < -2.56) + P(Z > 2.56)

= 0.0052 + 0.0052

= 0.0104

The p-value is 0.0104 which is less than the significance level of 0.02. This means that we reject the null hypothesis.

The Marketing executive was correct.
