Question

B D (15) 3. Proposals A, B, C, D, E, F and G are being considered with money flows over 10 years. G Investment $25,000 $10,000 $40,000 $45,000 $15,000 $55,000 $25,000 Net Annual Benefit $7,000 $2,200 $10,000 $12,000 $2,800 $14,000 $8,000 Salvage Value $3,000 $O $5,000 $2,000 $500 $1,000 Proposal (A and E) are mutually exclusive, (C and D) are also mutually exclusive, and proposal B depends on Cor D. The MARR is set at 10%. a) Formulate the problem with Integer Programming. b) Which proposal(s) should be selected if the amount of money available for investment is $100,000?

Explanation / Answer

We are given investment which is cash outflow at year zero
Net annual benefit is operating cashflow
Salvage value will get added to the net annual benefit amount for the final year ie year 10.

Thus the NPVs for various projects at MARR of 10% is

So Project A and E are mutually exclusive thus only project with higher NPV can be selected which is project A
Project C and D are mutually exclusive thus only project with higher NPV can be selected which is project D

Thus to make investment into various project (excluding C and E) with available investment of $100,000
Project A
Project D
Project G to get maximum NPV of $66561 by investing $95000

Whereas by investing in project D and F we can get NPV of $55028 with full $100,000 but its less than the above one
