An asset that is book-depreciated over a 5-year period by the straight-line method has BV3 = $62,000
with a depreciation charge of $26,000 per year. Determine (a) the first cost of the asset and (b) the
assumed salvage value.
Lee Company of Westbrook, Connecticut, manufactures pressure relief inserts for thermal relief and
low-flow hydraulic pressure relief applications where zero leakage is required. A machine purchased 3
years ago has been book-depreciated by the straight-line method using a 5-year useful life. If the book
value at the end of year 3 is $30,000 and the company assumed that the machine would be worthless
at the end of its 5-year useful life, (a) what is the book depreciation charge each year and (b) what was
the first cost of the machine?
A southwestern city has a contract with Firestone Vehicle Fleet Maintenance to provide maintenance
services on its fleet of city-owned vehicles such as street sweepers, garbage trucks, backhoes, and
carpool vehicles. The contract price is fixed at $45,000 per year for 4 years. If you were asked to convert
the future amounts into constant-value amounts per today’s dollars, what would the respective amounts
be? Assume the current market interest rate of 10% per year and inflation rate of 5% per year are
expected to remain the same over the next 4-year period.
Assume the inflation rate is 4% per year and the market interest rate is 5% above the inflation rate.
Determine (a) the number of constant-value dollars 5 years in the future that is equivalent to $30,000
now and (b) the number of future dollars that will be equivalent to $30,000 now.
A doctor is on contract to a medium-sized oil company to provide medical services at remotely located,
widely separated refineries. The doctor is considering the purchase of a private plane to reduce the
total travel time between refineries. The doctor can buy a used Lear jet now or wait for a new very light
jet (VLJ) that will be available 3 years from now. The cost of the VLJ will be $1.9 million, payable when
the plane is delivered in 3 years. The doctor has asked you, his friend, to determine the present worth
of the VLJ so that he can decide whether to buy the used Lear now or wait for the VLJ. If the MARR is
15% per year and the inflation rate is projected to be 3% per year, what is the present worth of the VLJ
with inflation considered?

suppose the lowest point of a Ferris wheel is 2 meters off the ground, and its radius is 12m. Starting at the lowest point, it makes one complete revolution every 3o seconds. Find a cosine function that gives the height above the ground of a riding child in terms of the time t in second
A canned food product is thermally processed at 125 ° C; the coldest point presents the following values: fh = 40 min, jh = 0.8, jc = 0.8, Initial of the product = 24 ° C and CUT = 8 min. The deteriorating microorganism has a D121 = 1 min and z = 14 ° C. An acceptable spoilage rate has been established as one can for every million cans processed. If the initial microbial population is 106 microorganisms per can, determine:
a) The g value
b) The process time
