1. A five-year-old machine, Machine X,
purchased for $100000 is not able to meet
today's market demands. Its operating cost is
higher than expected, so it will be used for
only 4 more years. Its operating cost this year
will be $40,000, increasing by $2000 per year
through the end of its useful life. The
challenger, Machine Y will cost $140,000 with
a $60,000 salvage value after its 10-year ESL.
Its operating cost is expected to be $10,000
for year 1, increasing by $500 per year
thereafter. What is the market value for
machine X that would make the two machines
equally attractive at an interest rate of 12%
per year?
