Advanced Technologies, Inc. is evaluating two alternatives to produce its new plastic filament with tribological (low friction) properties for creating custom bearing for 3-D printers. The estimates associated with its alternatives are shown below. Use LCM way and a MARR of 20% per year. Method DDM LS First Cost $ -165,000 -375,000 M&O cost, $/year -50,000 -25,000 Salvage value $ 30,000 Life, years 4 2.
