1. Simplified Annual Worth Analysis of Cash Flows
You are to conduct a simplified alternatives analysis of the six alternatives. You decide to conduct an annual worth analysis of the expected (average) cash flows. You decide to consider the capital costs, annual revenues (fare), and annual operation and maintenance (O&M) costs only. You decide to use a study period of 50 years and a minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) of 4%. For your analysis, year 1 represents the first year of operation. To simplify the analysis, you will ignore the implementation time assume the capital costs occur in year 0. Cash flow diagram should reflect yearly revenues and be assumed for 50 years.
Calculate the annual worth ($/year) of each of the six alternatives. Which one is best?
2. Normalize Annual Worth by Number of Trips
Now, normalize the annual worth by dividing by the total number of trips for each alternative to get the metric ($/year-trip). Which of the six alternatives is best? Compare and contrast the two metrics: (1) annual worth ($/year) and (2) trip normalized annual worth ($/year-trip). Which do you think is best to use for public transit?
