Two alternate plans are available for increasing the capacity of existing water transmission lines between an unlimited source a

nd a reservoir. The unlimited source is at a higher elevation then the reservoir. Plan A calls for the construction of a parallel pipeline and flow by gravity. Plan B specifies construction of a booster pumping station. Estimated cost for the two plans are as follows: Hint: Use Present Worth- (do not guess show all your work) i=10%
Plan A : Cost $700,000, Life 40 Years, Annual Operation and Repair $1,000/Year
Plan B: Cost $200,000, Life 40 Years Structure and 20 years equipment, Equipment replacement at the end of 20 years $75,000, Annual Operation and Repairs 52,000/year
a. Plan A $709,779.00

Answer:

plan a

Explanation:

present worth of plan A= 700000+1000(p/a,10%,40)

= 700000+1000*9.779

= 700000+9779

= 709779 dollars

present worth of plan b = 200000+75000(p/f,10%,20)+52000/year(p/a,10%,40)

= 200000+75000*0.1486+52000*9.779

= 719653 dollars.

we compare the  pw of both a and b, from the solutions above, the present worth of plan a is smaller than that of plan b, so the best option is plan a, <u>$709,779.00</u>

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

I will be willing to pay $1,106 for a vanguard bond.

Explanation:

Coupon payment = Par value x Coupon rate

Coupon payment = $1,000 x 8%

Coupon payment = = $80

Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula:

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond =$80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 7% )^-20 ) / 7% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 7% )^20 ]

Price of the Bond = $80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.07 )^-20 ) / 0.07 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.07 )^20 ]

Price of the Bond = $848 + $258

Price of the Bond = $1,106

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The owner will maximize value if it waits 29th years Assuming 5% continuos inflation

Explanation:

the price formula for the future years is:

v = 301000 + 960 t^{2}

while it is adjusted for inflation at:

v \times e^{-0.05t}

so the complete formula for value is:

\frac{301000 + 960 t^{2}}{e^{0.05t}}

Now, we can derivate and obtain the roots

Getting at a root exist at the 29th year.

The owner will maximize value if it waits 29th years Assuming 5% continuos inflation
