A truck rental company has two types of trucks. Type A has 20 cubic meters of refrigerated space and 40 cubic meters of non-refrigerated space, and type B has 30 cubic meters of refrigerated space and also 30 cubic meters of non-refrigerated space. A food plant must ship 900 cubic meters of refrigerated food and 1200 cubic meters of non-refrigerated food. Suppose truck A rents for $0.90 per mile and B for $1.20. Find the number of trucks of each type that the plant should rent so as to minimize cost.

Given the following data on transportation costs, determine the break-even times for the two stationary container systems versus the use of a transfer and transport system. Base your computations on dollars per ton per minute. Operating costs Stationary container systems 4-ton capacity = $25.00/h 10-ton capacity = $36.00/h Truck-semitrailer combination (25-ton capacity) = $55.00/h Transfer station costs = $3.00/ton

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand system will cost $75,000. A new system with improved technology can decrease labor hours by 20% compared to the used system. The new system will cost $150,000 to purchase and install. Both systems have a useful life of ﬁve years. The market value of the used system is expected to be $20,000 in ﬁve years, and the market value of the new system is anticipated to be $50,000 in ﬁve years. Current maintenance activity will require the used system to be operated 8 hours per day for 20 days per month. If labor costs $40 per hour and the MARR is 1% per month, which system should be recommended?

Question 2: You have to transport 120 000 tons of bulk from Rio de Janeiro to Dhank (Oman) via the port of Sohar in containers. This bulk cargo has a S.G. (Specific Gravity) of 0,70. The internal measures of the container are: In feet Length Width Heigh 20ft container 19’7” 8’ 8’6” 40ft container 39’7” 8’ 9’6” The price for a 20ft container from Rio to Sohar is EURO 1400,- The price for a 40ft container from Rio to Sohar is EURO 1520,-- Max. payload for both a 20ft and 40ft container is 28 tons Post haulage between Rotterdam and Dhank (Oman) is EURO 150,-- per 20ft or 40ft container. What type of container will you choose for this concept and why? a) Volume calculation b) Maximum payload calculation c) Price per ton calculation d) Choice of container with justification
Q1. Calculate the expected hourly owning and operating cost for the second year of operation of the twin-engine scraper described below: Cost delivered 300,000 JD Tire cost = 24,000 JD Estimated life= 5 years Salvage value = 30,000 JD Depreciation method=sum-of-the-years digits Investment (interest) rate = 10% Hours used per year = 2,000 hr Tax, insurance, and storage rate = 8% Rated power = 465 hp Fuel price=0.40JD/ liter Operator's wages = 6 JD/h Fuel consumption factor = 0.035 liter /h/hp Service cost factor = 33% of hourly fuel cost Equipment Repair cost = 8.4 JD/h Estimated tire life= 3,000 hr
A machine cost $45,000 to purchase. Fuel, oil grease,and minor maintenance are estimated to cost $12.34 peroperating hour. A set of tires cost $3,200 to replace, andtheir estimated life is 2,800 use hours. A $6,000 majorrepair will probably be required after 4,200hr of use. Themachine is expected to last for 8,400 hr, after which itwill be sold at a price equal to 10% of the originalpurchase price. A final set of new tires will not bepurchased before the sale. How much should the ownerof the machine charge per hour of use, if it is expectedthat the machine will operate 1,400 hr per year? Thecompany’s capital rate is 7%.
3. Determine the probable average cost per hour over the life of the equipment for owning and operating an off-highway truck under the conditions given below. Use the straight-line method of depreciation. Operating conditions Delivered price average $184,000 $15,000 6 years 2,000 hr/yr $34,000 $2.00/gal 440 hp Cost of a set of tires Expected life of the truck Hours operated Estimated salvage value Fuel cost Rated power Rate for interest, tax insurance, and storage 20%

New tires are purchased for service trucks. Each service truck is given 4 tiresand a spare. If there are 65 new tires, how many trucks will receive new tires?
A four-year-old truck has a present net realizable value of $6,000 and is now expected to have a market value of $1,800 after its remaining three-year life. Its operating disbursements are expected to be $720 per year. An equivalent truck can be leased for $0.40 per mile plus $30 a day for each day the truck is kept. The expected annual utilization is 3,000 miles and 30 days. If the before-tax MARR is 15%, find which alternative is better by comparing before-tax equivalent annual costs a. using only the preceding information; b. using further information that the annual cost of having to operate without a truck is $2,000. Rework the above exercise, by comparing after-tax equivalent PWs if the effective income tax rate is 40%, the present book value is $5,000, and the depreciation charge is $1,000 per year if the firm continues to own the truck. Any gains or losses on disposal of the old truck affect taxes at the full 40% rate, and the after-tax MARR is 5%.
