An oil refinery finds that it is necessary to treat the waste liquids from a new process before discharging them into a stream. In-house treatment will have an annual cost of $20,000 the first year, but process improvements will allow the annual cost to decline by $2,000 each subsequent year. As an alternative, an outside company will process the wastes for an initial cost of $10,500 and an annual fixed price of $8,500/year throughout the 11 year period. Either way, there is no need t treat the wastes after 11 years. Using the AW method, calculate the equivalent uniform annual cost (EUAC) of each alternative and determine how the waste should be processed. The company's MARR is 12%.
