In the circuit shown in Fig. 2.87, determine vx and the power absorbed by the 60-? resistor.


Step 1. Although we could directly use Kirchhoff’s current law to solve this, it will be easier if we reduce the circuit first.



The reduced circuit looks like this,

An expansion of the current BIM (Building Infor­mation Model) software has been proposed to First Financial, the building’s owner. A total installed cost of $120,000 is expected to generate additional savings of $40,000 per year for 10 years, after which time the software will be replaced with no salvage value. The annual M&O cost is expected to be $10,000 the first year and increase by an arithmetic gradient G between $1000 and $5000 per year thereafter. Determine if the ex­panded BIM is sensitive to gradient increases of $1000 (optimistic), $3000 (most likely), and $5000 (pessimistic) per year. Use AW analysis and a MARR of 10% per year.
