Question 8 - A local utility burns coal having the following composition on a dry basis : Carbon (C)..

Answer / kang chuen tat

Answer 8 - Total percentage without ash is 83.05 + 4.45 + 3.36 + 1.08 + 0.7 = 92.64 %. For ash free composition percentage calculations, C = 83.05 / 92.64 x 100 % = 89.65 %. H = 4.45 / 92.64 x 100 % = 4.80 %. O = 3.36 / 92.64 x 100 % = 3.63 %. N = 1.08 / 92.64 x 100 % = 1.17 %. S = 0.7 / 92.64 x 100 % = 0.76 %.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.19 : In the purchase of a unit of engineering office, a loan has been made to a bank with the following details : Term N = 30 years; interest rate R = 8.07 % / year; security : primary residence; present value pv = $450000; salary = $75000 / year or $56000 / year after tax. (a) Let the discounted present value PV = [ 1 - 1 / (1 + r) ^ n ] / r for arrears, where r = interest rate of discount, n = number of payment, ^ = symbol for power. If the loan repayment was made monthly : (i) calculate the value of r where r = R / k and R is in decimal value; (ii) find the value of n where n = kN; (iii) estimate the value of k where k = number of repayment per year; (iv) calculate the value of PV based on the formula of discounted present value. (b) Calculate the monthly repayment of the loan, MR based on the following formula : pv = PV x MR. (c) Find the percentage of salary remains after paying the loan every month.
