(C) FUPRE Energy Enterprise Ltd is considering which of two mechanical devices to install to reduce costs in a particular situation. Both devices cost N20,000 and have useful lives of 5 years and no salvage value, Device A can be expected to result in N3000 savings annually. Device B will provide cost savings of N4000 in the first year but will decline at N500 annually, making the second-year savings N3500, the third-year savings N3000, and so forth. As a consulting...
1/ A retrofit project is estimated to cost $250,000. The energy savings are expected to last 10 years. The retrofit is expected to save 325 MWh per year. Assuming a discount rate of 6%, and an electricity cost of $0.15/kWh: a/ What is the net-present value of the system (4 marks)? b/ What is the equivalent cost of the saved energy (4 marks)?
Exercise 2 A firm is considering which of two machines to install to reduce costs. Both machines have useful life of 5 years and no salvage value. Machine A costs 820.5 QAR and can be expected to result in 150 QAR savings first year increasing by 50 annually. Machine B costs 1,389 QAR and will provide savings of 300 QAR the first year increasing 50 QAR annually, making the second-year savings 350 QAR, the third-year savings 400 QAR and so...
A new furnace for your small factory will cost $27,000 to install and will require ongoing maintenance expenditures of $1,500 a year. But it is far more fuelefficient than your old furnace and will reduce your consumption of heating oil by 2,400 gallons per year. Heating oil this year will cost $3 a gallon; the price per gallon is expected to increase by $.50 a year for the next 3 years and then to stabilize for the foreseeable future. The...

Should you install solar panels on your home? The cost of the panels is $20,000 today and will save $1,500 per year on average for 25 years. In addition, assume you are eligible for a 30% tax credit on installation cost (assume received in one year). What is the NPV, IRR and payback of the solar panels for 25 years (useful life). Hint: Treat the savings as a cash inflow. Cost Today (T=0) $20,000 No loan Annual Savings (T=1-25) $1,500...
