2.13) Syringe pumps often fail because reagents adhere to the ceramic piston and
deteriorate the seal. Trident Chemical developed an integrated polymer dynamic seal that
provides a higher sealing force on the sealing lip, resulting in extended seal life. One of
Trident’s customers expects to reduce downtime by 30% as a result of the new seal
design. If lost production would have cost the company $110,000 per year for the next 4
years, how much could the company afford to spend now onthe new seals, if it uses an
interest rate of 12% per year?
Jawab :
P = …?
P = (110000 * 0,3)(P/A 12% 4)
= (33000)(3.0373)
= $100,231

2.15) The Public Service Board (PSB) awarded two contracts worth a combined $1.07
million to improve (i.e., deepen) a retention basin and reconstruct the spillway that was
severely damaged in a flood 2 years ago. The PSB said that, because of the
weakeconomy, the bids came in $950,000 lower than engineers expected. If the projects
are assumed to have a 20-year life, what is the annual worth of the savings at an interest
rate of 6% per year?
Jawab :
A = …?
A = 950,000(A/P 6% 20)
= 950,000(0.08718)
= $82,821
2.17) In an effort to reduce childhood obesity by reducing the consumption of sugared
beverages, some states have imposed taxes on soda andother soft drinks. A survey by
Roland Sturm of 7300 fifth-graders revealed that if taxes averaged 4 cents on each
dollar’s worth of soda, no real difference in overall consumption was noticed. However,
if taxes were increased to 18 cents on the dollar, Sturm calculated they would make a
significant difference. For a student who consumes 100 sodas per year, what is the future
worth of the extra cost from 4 cents to 18 cents per soda? Assume the student consumes
sodas from grade 5 through graduation in grade 12. Use aninterest rate of 6% per year.
Jawab :
F = …?
F = (0.18 - 0.04)(100)(F/A 6% 8)
= 14(9.8975)
= $138.57

2.19) Henry Mueller Supply Co. sells tamperproof,normally open thermostats (i.e.,
thermostat closesas temperature rises). Annual cash flows areshown in the table below.
Determine the future worth of the net cash flows at an interest rate of 10% per year.
Jawab :
F = ….?
F = (200-90) (F/A 10% 8 )
= 110 (11.4359)
= $1,257,949
