Chapter 4 Assignment:
1) -The best topic statement (main idea):
Argon process vs. Hydrogen process.
-Utility costs for the argon process are 75% higher than for the proposed hydrogen process. In other words initial capital cost for the argon process is 5.4 million, roughly three times the hydrogen process cost.
However, annual sale income of Argon increased Ammonia production and reduced natural gas requirements elsewhere in the plant is 160% higher than that generated by the hydrogen process.
In conclusion, present worth analysis shows that the argon process is the better investment because it is $10.25 million while the present worth of hydrogen process is $4.14 million.
2)a) The present worth of the argon process is $10.25 million but (however) the
present worth of the hydrogen process is $4.14 million.
b) When you start the engine, first adjust the motor speed immediately, then check
your owner’s manual if you have any problems.
3) a) The Cleveland engine plant will begin making diesel engines in 1992, which will
be produced along with the gas engines already in production. However, there is
only one area for machining pistons where both gas pistons and diesel pistons
must be machined.
b) The maximum speeds of the electric cars are much lower than those of the gas
cars and are barely fast enough to maintain freeway speeds.
This causes problems with utilization of electric cars on freeways and it almost
limits their use to residential streets.
Finally, the maximum speeds of the electric cars must be increased to give them a
better chance for utilization.
4) The 5 year plan does not indicate a clearly defined commitment to long range
environmental research. In other words, where the plan does address long-range
environmental research, the plan discusses the development of techniques rather
than the identification of important issues of long range environmental research.
5) Electric cars utilization is impossible as it has many problems in performance and
costs. These problems can be solved in the future by research and development.
6)All savers certificates will not benefit all investors. Investors exceeding a deposit
of $7931 would have an after tax yield far lower than alternative investments.
Alternative investments would also yield better after six tax yields and no penalty if the certificate was redeemed within the 1 year maturity period.
