A company that makes food-friendly silicone (for use in cooking and baking pan coatings) is consid­ering the independent projects shown, all of which can be considered to be viable for only 10 years. If the company’s MARR is 15% per year, determine which should be selected on the basis of a present worth analysis. Financial values are in $1000 units.


Compare each alternative against DN and select all with PW ? 0. Monetary units are $1000.
 PWA = -1200 + 200(P/A,15%,10) + 5(P/F,15%,10)
= -1200 + 200(5.0188) + 5(0.2472)
= $-195.004 (Reject)

PWB = -2000 + 400(P/A,15%,10) + 6(P/F,15%,10)
= -2000 + 400(5.0188) + 6(0.2472)
= $9.003 (Accept)

PWC = -5000 + 1100(P/A,15%,10) + 8(P/F,15%,10)
= -5000 + 1100(5.0188) + 8(0.2472)
= $522.658 (Accept)

PWD = -7000 + 1300(P/A,15%,10) + 7(P/F,15%,10)
= -7000 + 1300(5.0188) + 7(0.2472)
= $-473.830 (Reject)
