Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.7P
Detmine the interest rate at which the project in Example 1-2 would become feasible. Do higher interest rates make this project more feasible or less feasible? Would a longer life for the equipment make this project more feasible or less feasible? What would a price escalation in energy do to the project feasibility?

A family wishes to buy a 2020 Toyota Camry. The two options the consider are (a) a standard automobile with and SI engine that gets 34 mpg and costs $18,000; and (b) a hybrid automobile that gets 52 mpg and costs $32,000. On average, the family drives 16,000 miles each year ad gasoline costs $1.65 per gallon.
Calculate: (Show your complete solution)
The amount of gasoline each vehicle would use each year.
Gasoline cost savings of hybrid over standard.
Time in months it would take to make up the difference in vehicle cost with fuel savings.
Read the question carefully and match the answer with its respective question:
It has been reported that, before 10years, the Heat Rate of natural gas was 8185. It has been observed that, due to the use of
modern technology, in last 10years, the efficiency of natural gas-based power plants has been increased by 20%.
As per the report, what is the new %age efficiency?
Choose.
With reference to the new efficiency what would be the new recorded value of the heat rate of natural gas?
Choose.
