ABC Electronics must buy a piece of equipment to place electronic components on the printed circuit boards it assembles. The proposed equipment has a 10-year leife with no scrap value. The supplier has given JT several purchase alternatives. The first is to purchase the equipment for $850,000 (Option A). The second is to pay for the equipment in 10 equal installments of $135,000 each, starting one year from now (Option B). The third is to pay $215,000 now and $95,000 at the end of each year for the next 10 years (Option C). Which alternative should JT choose if their MARR is 11% per year?

Engineering Economics You bought a new car which you intend to use as a public utility vehicle for P950,000. The expected life of the car is ten (10) years for its intended use. Your driver and you agreed that for the first five (5) years , your “boundary” is P1,500.00 per day and P1,000.00 per day for the rest of its economic life. You also expected a repair and maintenance costs of P30,000 every six (6) months from year one (1) to five (5) and P50,000 from year six (6) to ten (10). At the end of 10 years you can sell the car for P100,000. If your MARR on invested capital is 15% every (6) months, determine whether this is a good investment. Use the present Worth method in your solution. Indicate all other assumptions you use in your analysis.Use manually solve and don't use excel.
