Part B:
Cost for family of each equipment:
4 Heat exchangers in 2019 = $ 676,000
4 mixers in 2019 = $ 2,420,000
4 storage tanks in 2019 = $ 4,065,000
Now costs of these equipment in base year 2010:
4 Heat exchangers in 2010 = $ 614,000
4 mixers in 2010 = $ 2,193,000
4 storage tanks in 2010 = $ 3,687,000
:: Area is same therefore, Aa = Ab = A
According to the equation:
n
Ca Aa
=( )
Cb Ab
Ca = cost in 2010
Cb = cost in 2019
For heat exchanger:
n
676000 A
=( )
614000 A
Cost exponent = n = infinity
Similarly, for mixers:
n
2420000 A
=( )
2193000 A
Cost exponent = n = infinity
Similarly, for tanks:
3687 000 A n
=( )
4065 000 A
Cost exponent = n = infinity
Cost exponent is not even close to rule n=0.6. the reason is size is same. cost exponent shows
effect of size and cost.
