A firm is considering investing in a new piece of material handling equipment that should save on the current annual labor cost of moving the materials by hand. The device costs $750 can be expected to result in $500 annual savings for years 1, 2, and 3; then, it will have worn out and have to be replaced. Assume the interest rate that determines time value of money for this firm is 7% Required:
a. What is the payback period for the expenditure of the $1000?
b. Calculate the present worth (PW) of the three years of savings, assuming the savings occur at the end of each year of ownership.
c. Calculate the net present worth (NPW) of the investment.
d. Based on your answers to į and iii, should the firm invest in the equipment?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
