Introduction

Introduce your objective, your method to be used to evaluate the alternatives, and any general assumptions to be made across all three alternatives (i.e., MARR value you chose, and rational for this value, the inflation rate(s), etc.). Be sure to include sources for your information.

Alternative 1

Describe your alternative in detail, including any assumptions you had to make, and where you got your data. Provide the details of your economic analysis within your report- i.e, a summarized cash flow table, and the formulas you used in your calculations (it is acceptable to input a screen-shot from Excel). State the final result in terms of your measure of merit (NPV, EUAW, FW, IRR, etc.).

Alternative 2

Provide the details of your economic analysis within your report- i.e, a summarized cash flow table, and the formulas you used in your calculations (it is acceptable to input a screen-shot from Excel). State the final result in terms of your measure of merit (NPV, EUAW, FW, IRR, etc.).

Alternative 3

Provide the details of your economic analysis within your report- i.e, a summarized cash flow table, and the formulas you used in your calculations (it is acceptable to input a screen-shot from Excel). State the final result in terms of your measure of merit (NPV, EUAW, FW, IRR, etc.).

Conclusions

Provide a summary of your analyses for alternatives 1-3. Discuss a conclusion based upon your measure of merit, and/or any other criteria as you see fit (risk, environmental, personal preference, etc.).
