Six years ago, an 80-kW diesel-electric set cost $145,000. The cost index for this class of equipment six years ago was 187 and is now 194. The plant engineering staff was considering a 120-kW unit of the same general design to power a small isolated plant that would have cost $200,145. Based on the information above the plant engineering staff is considering a 100-kW unit of the same general design to power a small isolated plant. Assume we want to add a pre-compressor, which (when isolated and estimated separately) currently costs $10,000. Determine the total cost of the 100-kW unit.
