. An electric switch manufacturing company has to choose one of three different assembly methods. Method A will have a first cost of $40,000, an annual operating cost of $9000, and a service life of 2 years. Method B will cost $80,000 to buy and will have an annual operating cost of $6000 over its 4-year service life. Method C will cost $130,000 initially with an annual operating cost of $4000 over its 8-year life. Methods A and B will have no salvage value, but method C will have some equipment worth an estimated $12,000. Which method should be selected? Use present worth analysis at an interest rate of 10% per vear.

A diesel engine uses Type A filter and high-grade lubricating oil costing $5.50 per liter. With this filter, the oil and filter have to be changed every 500 hours of operation, and 5 liters of oil have to be added every 100 hours. This filter cost $148 a piece. Eighty liter of oil fill the engine. Another type, filter B, costing $120 may be used with a lower grade oil costing $4.80 per liter. However, if this filter is used, the oil and filter have to be changed every 300 hours, and 10 liters are added after each 150 hours the engine is used. Which type of filter and oil would you recommend?
