Consider the following assumptions, field size 640 acres, non-cropped area 5 acres, 2600' total length center pivot cost of 30,000 with a life expectancy of 15 years, corn selling price of $3.75 per bushel, expected grain yield of 160 bushels per acre. If SDI irrigation costs $675 per acre installed with a life expectancy of 25 years, expected yield of 160 bushels per acre, you would be money ahead to install SDI. True False
For each of the following problems, (a) draw the cash flow diagram; (b) present clean and clear manual solutions to the problem; (c) highlight the final answer (only the final answer as required by the problem) by enclosing it within a box. NO EXCEL An engineer is trying to decide which process to use to reduce sludge volume prior to disposal. Belt filter presses (BFP) will cost $200,000 to buy and $80,000 per year to operate. Belts will be replaced one time per year at a cost of $5,500. Centrifuges will cost $400,000 to buy and $120,000 per year to operate, but because the centrifuge will produce a thicker cake, the sludge hauling cost to the monofill will be $30,000 per year less than for the belt presses. The useful lives are 5 and 10 years for BFP and the Centrifuge respectively. The salvage values are assumed to be 10% of the first cost of each process whenever they are closed down or replaced. The interest rate is 8%. Use the PW method to select the more economical process.
In decision making process, the most important role of engineering economist is to define feasible alternatives. Select one: True False
