An industrial engineer is considering two robots for purchase by a fiber-optic manufacturing company. Robot X will have a first cost of $80,000, an annual maintenance and operation (M&O) cost of $30,000, and a $40,000 salvage value. Robot Y will have a first cost of $97,000, an annual M&0 cost of $27,000, and a $50,000 salvage value. Analyse which should be selected on the basis of a future worth comparison at an interest rate of 15% per year using a 3-year study period.

I leave a like on all sections for your assistance, thank you.WATER TREATMENT PLANT PROCESS COSTSInformation: (Please see the attached image depicting the schematics + Text) The results obtained from the four operating modes showed that the hardness decreased by 4.7% when both processes were in operation (i.e., sludge recirculation and aeration). When only sludge was recirculated, the reduction was 3.8%. There was no reduction due to aeration only, or when there was neither aeration nor recirculation. For turbidity, the reduction was 28% when both recirculation and aeration were used. The reduction was 18% when neither aeration nor recirculation was used. The reduction was also 18% when aeration alone was used, which means that aeration alone was of no benefit for turbidity reduction. With sludge recirculation alone, the turbidity reduction was only 6%, meaning that sludge recirculation alone actually resulted in an increase in turbidity-the difference between 18% and 6%. Since…
