Parker County Community College (PCCC) is trying to determine whether to use no insulation or to use insulation that is either 1 inch thick or 2 inches thick on its steam pipes. The heat loss from the pipes without insulation is expected to cost $1.60 per year per foot of pipe. A 1-inch thick insulated covering will eliminate 78% of the loss and will cost $0.35 per foot. A 2-inch thick insulated covering will eliminate 92% of the loss and will cost $0.95 per foot. PCCC Physical Plant Services estimates that there are 200,000 feet of steam pipe on campus. The PCCC Accounting Office requires a 10.5 %/year return to justify capital expenditures. The insulation has a life expectancy of 10 years. Click here to access the TVM Factor Table Calculator Part a Your answer is incorrect. What is the present worth of each option? No insulation: $ 1-inch insulation: $ 2-inch insulation: $ 1924480 Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance is 20.
