Arkadaşlar öncelikle merhaba, Ben bilgisayar mühendisliği öğrencisiyim ve anlamadığım Engineering economics analysis ödeviyle karşı karşıyayım ve hiç anlamadım. Yardımcı olabilecek arkadaşlardan yardım istiyorum. Herkese teşekkürler.
1-1. Stan Moneymaker needs 15 gallons of gasoline to top off his automobile's gas tank. If he drives an extra eight miles (round trip) to a gas station on the outskirts of town, Stan can save $0.10 per gallon on the price of gasoline. Suppose gasoline costs $3.00 per gallon and Stan's car gets 25 mpg for in-town driving. Should Stan make the trip to get less expensive gasoline? Each mile that Stan drives creates one pound of carbon dioxide. Each pound of CO2 has a cost impact of $0.02 on the environment. What other factors (cost and otherwise) should Stan consider in his decision making?
1-5. MIT has designed an environmentally friendly car whick will ru ın biodiesel. Biodiesel can be produced from the Jatropha plant for about $0.2 per liter and blended with gasoline costing 0.8 per liter. The mixture costs $0.5 per liter. Assume that fuel consumption is 15 km per liter and engine performance in general is not affected by 20:80 blends.
a) How much money can be saved on driving 15.000 km per year ?
b) How much gasoline per year is being conserved if 1 million people use the blended fuel ?
