A city is spending $10 million on building a new sewage system. Suppose the annual operating expenses for the system are projected to be $6,000 for each year, starting in year one and continuing forever. And maintenance expense of $20,000 starts in year five, repeating every five years thereafter and continuing forever. If the citys MARR is 10% per year, what is the capitalized worth of the system?

Alice deposits $2,000 in a savings account now which offers a variable rate of interest. She plans to withdraw all her money in 5 years. During the period, the annual interest rate paid on her deposits in this account changes each year. How much will Alice receive upon withdrawing her money after 5 years?

Consider two mutually exclusive alternatives A and B. Assume MARR = 10% per year, the alternatives are repeatable and the study period is 20 years, which alternative would you choose? Use both AW and PW methods of analysis.

John has purchased a bond that was issued by ABC Medical. The bond has a face value of $10,000 and will mature in eight years. The coupon rate of the bond is 8% per year, and interest payments are made to the bondholder every quarter. John bought the bond five years ago at the face value and he wants to sell it now for a price that will allow him to earn an annual yield of 12% compounded quarterly. How much does John need to sell the bond for to earn his desired return?
