- A city is planning to renovate their current facility with hi-tech computerized systems. Four plans are proposed by the engineers. Each plan will save $900,000 annually but their cost is different. The benefits will last for 25 years. Based on a benefit-cost analysis what should the agency do, if į = 10%?

- Engineering Economics19 Please show a step by step solution using Present worth method thanks pleaseYou have been asked to evaluate the economic implications of various methods for cooling condenser effluents from a 200-MW steamelectric plant. There are two basic types of cooling towers: wet and dry. Furthermore, heat may be removed from condenser water by (1) forcing (mechanically) air through the tower or (2) allowing heat transfer to occur by making use of natural draft. Consequently, there are four basic cooling tower designs that could be considered. Assuming that the cost of capital to the utility company is 12% per year, your job is to recommend the best alternative (i.e., the least expensive during the service life). Further, assume that each alternative is capable of satisfactorily removing waste heat from the condensers of a 200-MW power plant.
