Consider three mutually exclusive alternatives, each with a 15-year useful life. If the MARR is 12%, which alternative should be selected? Solve the problem by using benefit-cost ratio analysis, Net Present Value, and Internal Rate of Return. A B C Cost $800 $300 $150 Uniform Annual Benefit 130 60 35
A firm is considering three mutually exclusive alternatives as part of an upgrade to an existing transportation network. At EOY 10, alternative III would be replaced with another alternative Ill having the same installed cost and net annual revenues. If MARR is 10% per year, which alternative (if any) should be chosen? Use the incremental IRR procedure. $40,000 $6,500 $20,000 $5,200 Installed cost Net annual revenue Salvage value Useful life Calculated IRR $30,000 $5,600 0 20 years 18.0% 20 years...

2) In the design of a new facility, the mutually exclusive alternatives in the table below are under consideration. Assume that the interest rate (MARR) is 15%. First draw the cash flow diagrams. Then, use the following methods to choose the best of these three feasible alternatives: Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Alternative 3 $ 11 $ 12 $ 13 Investment (first) cost (please see the table for your value) $ A1 $ A2 $ A3 Net cash flow per year...
4. (10 points) A firm is considering three mutually exclusive alternatives as part of a production improvement program. The alternatives are: Initial Cost $20,000 $30,000 $50,000 Uniform Annual Benefit $4,000 $5,000 $6,500 Useful Life Salvage Value $2,000 $9,000 The MARR is 10%. Which alternative do you recommend? Be sure to use the proper technique when comparing alternatives with different useful lives.
A small construction project having a useful life of 5 years has five mutually exclusive alternatives. With an MARR of 6% and using incremental IRR which alternative should be selected? Note: First solve for the IRR for each alternative. You may use a spreadsheet to iterate to solve, but solve for the IRR for Alternative II 'by hand' by iterating between the interest rate tables in the back of the book. Alternatives III $400 $90 Initial Cost Uniform Annual Benefit...
