Depreciation scenario Your organisation has decided to purchase an item of equipment expected to work 1700 hours per year (average) for a 12 year working life. (a) Discuss, in about 200 words, two methods you could use to compare alternative options when buying this equipment. (b) Assume that the item of equipment you decided to purchase had a purchase price of $2,900,000 and a residual value at the end of 12 years of $260,000. Tabulate the depreciation and book value for the life of the item by each of the following methods: 1) straight line 2) declining balance 3) sum of digits. (c) Tabulate details of a sinking fund to accumulate to the original purchase price less residual value assuming an interest rate of 6%. (d) Draw a graph showing the book values in each of the above (plotted on the same graph for comparison). (e) Comment on the factors that an equipment owner might consider when selecting one of these methods. (f) Assume now that you have purchased this equipment. What is the Total Annual payment required for operating the equipment? You have the following additional data: • Maintenance costs are $60,000 in the first year • Operator wages are $100,000 in the first year • Storage, transport and other miscellaneous costs are $15,000 in the first year • Money costs 8% per year Hint: Start by calculating the Capital Recovery Factor (g) Maintenance, operator and miscellaneous costs are expected to increase at a flat rate of 4% per year over the life of the machine. Based on a Profit margin of 32%, create a table that calculates the hourly charge out rate, including profit, you would need for its hire during each year of the working life of the equipment. (h) Also based on this hourly charge and expected operating hours, what is the expected annual income over the working life of the equipment?

You are the head of the engineering department in a certain company. your department has been allocated an annual budget of R2.6 million for this year. it is now towards the endof the financial year and your department has overspent by 25%. your senior manager wants you to justify why this is so. YOur task is to present a report showing all the expense of your department for the year and analyse them in a form of a Pareto analysis and a drill down analysis. in your analysis, ensure that you highlight the cause of your over expenditure, including the failure modes of the equipment. Justify ypur financial over spend with things that affect maintenance such as economic factors (macro and micro), poor workmanship from contractors, shift arrangements, poor quality spares, emergency work that had to be done

Determine which of the following sets of data satisfy the first law of thermodynamics? (Recall that E = total energy = U + KE + PE)

a. W = 50 kJ Q = 170 kJ DeltaE = 120 kJ

b. W = 100 Btu Q = -110 Btu DeltaE = -210 Btu

c. W = 250 kJ Q = -110 kJ DeltaE = -100 Wh

d. W = 44 kPa-m3   Q = -84 kPa-m3 DelatE = 40 kN-m

Make the Bond graph model of Hydraulic ABS system in 20SIM software and simulate it

1. Selected Aircraft: Embraer ERJ 145 XR

2. Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) [lbs]: 53,131 lbs

3. Engine Type and Rated Thrust [lbs]: Rolls-Royce AE3007 A1E and 7,800

4. Total Available Thrust (sum of all engines for multiengine aircraft) [lbs]: 15,600 pounds

5. Take-off distance at MTOW [ft]: 7,448 ft

Utilizing the above researched information, derive and present (in an instructional way) approaches and solutions to the following problems:

1.) If your selected aircraft's takeoff speed at MTOW was assumed to be 150 kts (i.e., the speed that is reached in the above researched takeoff distance), explain how to find and determine:

a. The total acceleration a [ft/s2] during takeoff roll

b. The sum of retarding forces FR [lb] (drag + friction) that was present during takeoff

c. The time t [s] it took for this takeoff

2.) Given the researched knowledge about the aircraft's thrust, explain for a specific airspeed example how to determine the power P [HP].

3.) For a specific example related to your researched aircraft data, explain how to determine potential EPot[ft-lb], kinetic EKin [ft-lb], and total energy ETot [ft-lb].

4.) For a specific example, explain how the minimum required climb angle AOC [deg] to clear an obstacle can be calculated from knowledge about the obstacle's height and its distance from the point of takeoff.
