5.9 Two methods can be used for producing expansion anchors.

Method A costs $80,000

initially and will have $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this
method will be $30,000 per year. Method B will have a first cost of $120,000, an
operating cost of $8000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. At
an interest rate of 12% per year, which method should be used on the basis of a present
worth analysis?
5.23 The cost of extending a certain road at Yellowstone National Park is $1.7 million.
Resurfacing and other maintenance are expected to cost $350,000 every 3 years. What
is the capitalized cost of the road at an interest rate of 6% per year?
6.14 A state highway department is trying to decide whether it shoukd hot-patch a short
section of an existing country road or resurface it. If the hot-patch method is used,
approximately 300 cubic meters of material would be required at a cost of $700 per
cubic meter (in place). Additionally, the shoulders will have to be improved at the
same time at a cost of $24,000. These improvements will last 2 years, at which time
they will have to be redone. The annual cost of routine maintenance on the patched up
road would be $5000. Alternatively, the state can resurface the road at a cost of
$850,000. This surface will last 10 yeas if the road is maintained at a cost of $2000 per
year beginning 3 years from now. No matter which alternative is selected, the road will
be completely rebuilt in 10 years. At an interest rate of 8% per year, which alternative
should the state select on the basis of an annual worth analysis?
7.12 An Internet B to C company projected the cash flows (in millions) below. What annual
