Continue with question #15,Please calculate the hourly fuel cost if the wheel loader has a 250-fwhp diesel engine, and the diesel fuel costs $1.20 per gallon, and the operating factor (combined factor) is 0.75. (See textbook page 47 Example 2.12 for reference)

The BATs helped me focus my studies

Continue with question #15,Please calculate how many sets of tires are needed during the 10 years’ of operation of this loader assuming one set of tires can be expected to last 4,000 hours, and the loader will be operated 2,000 hours per year.

Having taken both this class and Fundamentals of Environmental Science & Sustainability (ENVS 210), I find that ENVS 210 prepared me for this class. (if you haven’t taken ENVS 210, choose N/A)

If net precipitation is {P} cm, the discharge is {Q} cm, and evapotranspiration is {E} cm, what is the change in storage? Please do not be alarmed by negative answers, the numbers in the question are randomly generated and this may lead to negative values for change in storage. Change in storage can be negative in real life as well. You may optionally upload your work as an attachment.

Continue with question #15,Please calculate the hourly tire depreciation cost of the first set of tires considering the time value of money, assuming that the loader has a service life of 10 years and operates 2,000 hours per year, and a set of tires can be expected to last 4,000 hours. (See textbook page 49 Example 2.14 for reference)

Match the mass movement type with its description.

Equipment depreciation is a/an ___________.

A contractor has purchased a wheel loader for $115,000 and plans to use it 2,000 hours per year. The cost of one set of tires is $25,000. At this usage rate, the contractor anticipates disposing of the loader after using it for 10 years and realizing a salvage value of $35,000. The flywheel horsepower rating of the loader’s diesel engine is 105 horsepower. The interest rate is 10%. The loader operator will earn $34.00 per hour including fringe benefits, and diesel fuel costs $1.20 per gallon.How much is the contractor’s hourly depreciation portion of ownership cost for the loader if using the Time Value Method (see textbook page 42 Example 2.8 for reference)?
