A new automated sorting and packaging system is being considered for investment at a Logistics 3PL Distribution Center. The initial investment is $1,500,000, and will require an upgrade of 30% of initial investment in software at the end of the 5th year. The company expects that the system will generate equivalent annual savings $350,000 increasing by a gradient series of $10,000 and will have annual O&M costs of $100,000. The company expects that the robot will have a useful life of 10 years, and that time will have a salvage value of $150,000. The administration is concerned about the accuracy of the projected savings in year 1 and the O&M costs. Perform a two parameter BTCF sensitivity analysis to determine the range in which these two parameters could vary to have a PW>0, MARR is 10%. You need to determine exactly the % in each parameter in which the economic investment is feasible. Clear show step by step your calculations.

In the fall, jay thompson decided to live in a university dormitory. he signed a dorm contract under which he was obligated to pay the room rent for the full college year. one clause stated that if he moved out during the year, he could sell his dorm contract to another student who would move into the dormitory as his replacement. the dorm cost was $5000 for the two semesters, which jay had already paid a month after he moved into the dorm, he decided he would prefer to live in an apartment. that week, after some searching for a replacement to fulfill his dorm contract, jay had two offers. one student offered to move in immediately and to pay jay $300 per month for the eight remaining months of the school year. a second student offered to move in the second semester and pay $2500 to jay. jay estimates his food cost per month is $500 if he lives in the dorm and $450 if he lives in an apartment with three other students. his share of the apartment rent and utilities will be $404 per month. assume each semester is 4.5 months long. disregard the small differences in the timing of the disbursements or receipts. what is the cost of the cheapest alternative?
