The purchase cost of 5 m3 SS tank in 1980 was Rs.3,75,000/-. The tank is cylindrical with flat top and the bottom diameter is 2 m. If the entire outer surface of the tank is to be covered with 5 cm thick magnesia block, estimate the present total cost for the installed and insulated tank. 1 January 1980 cost for the 5cm magnesia block was Rs.1000/m3 while labor for installing the insulation was Rs.200/m3 and if the installed equipment costs index for 1980 was 560 and now it is 979.

A heat exchanger has been designed for use in a chemical process. A standard type of H.E. with negligible scrap value. Cost of HE is Rs. 4000 & wil have useful life 6 yrs. Another proposed HE of equivalent design capacity cost Rs.6800 but will have a useful life 10 years & a scrap value of Rs.800. Assuming an effective compound interest rate of 8% per annum, determine with H.E. is cheaper.

Estimate the manufacturing cost for 100 kg of product under the following conditions.
FCI=Rs.100 millions.
Annual production output=10 million kg of product
Raw material cost=Rs. 12/kg of product
Utilities :-
100 psi(g) steam=50 kg/kg of product
Electric power= 0.4 kwh/kg of product
Filtered & softend water = 50 lit/kg of product
Operating labor = 20 men/shift at Rs. 40 employee per hour
Cost of 100 psig. steam=Rs. 260/Tonne of steam
Cost of power = Rs.3.5 /kwh.
Cost of filtered & softend water = Rs.14/m3
Plant operates 300 days 24 hrs. Per year
Non corrosive fluids are involved, no direct supervision is required. There are no patents royalties, interest or rent charges. The plant overhead cost amount 50 % of the cost for operating labor, supervision and maintenance.
