Answer:

10.8%

Explanation:

The computation of the expected returns is shown below:

= Return in periods of normal rainfall × probability of normal rainfall + return in droughts × probability of droughts

= 20% × 60% + -3% × 40%

= 12% - 1.2%

= 10.8%

Basically we multiplied the returns with its probabilities so that the approximate expected rate of return could come.

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A​ second-hand
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of  new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40  = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605  = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

A A rocket shoots up 123 meter<br>i. What is its initial velocity -​
oee [108]

Answer:

Initial Velocity= 49 m/s

Time period= 5 secs

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

A rocket shoots up 123 meters. What is it initial velocity?How long is it ascending

The initial velocity can be calculated using the expression below

u= √( 2gh)

Where g= Acceleration due to gravity= 98 m/s^2

h= height

Substitute the values we have

u = √(2*9.8*123)

u=√( 2410.8)

u = 49 m/s

the time period can be calculated as

(49/9.8)

= 5 sec

Hence time period is 5 secs
