Question #1:
A railroads company needs to purchase measuring equipment for its preventative maintenance tasks. If it is purchased, this equipment is expected to help the company in saving $100,000 in years 1 through 5; $110,000 in year 6; and increasing by a fixed amount of $10,000 each year after through year 10.
a) Draw the cash flow diagram.
b) Assuming an interest rate of 10% per year, what is the equivalent present worth over the 10 years of the savings?
Question #2:
The cost of tuition at private universities has been increasing for many years, One university announced to keep tuition at the same cost for 4 year for every student, who finished in the top 10% of their year - batch. One such student planned to start at this university, and continue there until earning a doctorate degree (a total time of 9 year). If the tuition for the first 4 year is $7,200 per year, and it increase by 5 % each year for the following 5 years:
a) Draw the cash flow diagram.
b) What is the present worth of the cost of tuition, assuming an interest rate of 8% per year?

Question #8:
A petrochemical company has just installed an HVAC system, with a first cost $25,000. The company is planning it to replace it after 5 years, where It could be salvaged then at a value of $5,000. Determine the book-value of $500. Determine the book value table(including depreciation charges) for its usage-life at the company, using
a. Straight-line (SL) depreciation
b. Double-Declining-Balance (DDB) depreciation.
Question 9:
XYZ- industries is planning either to upgrade the current control system, or purchase a new one for its factory. The factory has currently a control system, which was purchased 4 year ago for $250, 000; and it can be quickly sold for a value of $20,000 . Furthermore, the system can be upgrade now for an amount of 100,000; and be kept for another 4 more years; after Which it would be then sold $40000. Alternatively, a new control system could be purchased for a cost of $ 270,000. The new system is expected to have a 10-Year life span, with a $50,000 salvage value then. Should the company upgrade or replace its factory's control-system? Use an MARR of 20 % per year.
