6-30 The Johnson Company pays $1700 a month to a trucker to haul wastepaper and cardboard to the city dump. The material could be recycled if the company were to buy a $48,000 hydraulic press baler and spend $21,000 per year for labor to operate the baler. The baler has an estimated useful life of 15 years and no salvage value. Strapping the material would cost $1500 per year for the estimated 600 bales a year that would be produced. A wastepaper company will pick up the bales at the plant and pay Johnson $27 per bale for them. Use an annual cash flow analysis and an interest rate of 8 % to recommend whether it is economical to install and operate the baler.

Solar cells will cost $16,800 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,900. A new power line will cost $24,500 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. At an interest rate of 10% per year and using an AW analysis, which alternative should be selected?
