Transcribed Image Text:### Replacement Analysis for Forklift
An old forklift is undergoing a replacement analysis with the following details:
- **Current Market Value**: $10,000
- **Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR)**: 17% per year
The task is to evaluate the marginal costs over the remaining service years and compare it to a challenger with a minimum Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost (EUAC) of $7,415.
#### Given Data for Forklift (Defender)
- **Year 1**:
- Market Value (MV) at End of Year (EOY): $6,000
- Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Costs: $4,000
- **Year 2**:
- MV at EOY: $5,000
- O&M Costs: $4,000
- **Year 3**:
- MV at EOY: $4,000
- O&M Costs: $4,500
- **Year 4**:
- MV at EOY: $2,000
- O&M Costs: $5,500
#### Instructions:
(a) **Complete the table of marginal costs** of the old forklift for each of the remaining years of service, rounding to the nearest dollar.
| Year | Marginal Cost |
|------|---------------|
| 1 | $____ |
| 2 | $____ |
| 3 | $____ |
| 4 | $____ |
- Fill in the table with calculations based on MV and O&M costs provided.
- Consider the 17% MARR for interest and annuity table calculations as needed.
(b) **Assess Replacement Decision**:
- Utilize the calculated marginal costs to determine if the current forklift should be replaced, given that the challenger has an EUAC of $7,415.
> **Note**: To view detailed calculations involving discrete compounding based on a 17% MARR, please refer to the corresponding financial tables or use appropriate financial tools or software.
