QUESTION 3 Because it fumes at room temperatures, hydrochloric acid creates a very corrosive work environment. A machine working in that environment is deteriorating quickly and can be used for only one more year, at which time it will be scrapped with no salvage value. It was purchased 3 years ago for $88,000, and its operating cost for the next year is expected to be $57,000. A more corrosion-resistant challenger will cost $212,000 with an operating cost of $55,000 per year. It is expected to have a $50,000 salvage value after its 10- year ESL. At an interest rate of 11% per year, what minimum replacement value would render the challenger attractive? The Replacement Value, (in $)

Financial information about graders planned to be purchased is presented in the table below. Calculate the net present values of the machines with the least common multiple (LCM) approach. Choose the economically most suitable grader. MARR is specified as 16%. Purchase costs (TL) Annual repair-maintenance cost (TL) Major repair-maintenance (TL) Annual income (TL) Salvage value (end of 4th year) (TL) Economic life (years) Machine A 220.000+ 12.500*X 5.000 15.000 (at 3rd year) 110.000+ 2.000*Y 50.000 4 Machine B 300.000 + 14.500*Y 3.500 12.000 (at 3rd year) 140.000 + 1.200*X 70.000 6
Typically, there are two alternatives in a replacement analysis. One alternative is to replace the defender now. The other alternative is which of the following? A. Keep the defender for its remaining useful life.B Keep the defender for another year and then reexamine the situation. C Keep the defender until an improved challenger better than the current challenger comes to marketD. Keep the defender as long as it’s operational.
A material handling system was purchased 3 years ago for $116,866. Two years ago it required substantial upgrading at a cost of $13,319. It once again is requiring an upgrading cost of $26,056. Alternately, a new system can be purchased today at a cost of $218,589, with a salvage value of $21,003. The existing machine could be sold today for $48,133. In an economic replacement analysis, what first cost should be assigned to the existing system?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

8 years ago a company installed a robot that today has a market value of $ 60,000 and each year it drops $ 2000. For example, at the end of the first year the market value will be $ 58,000 and so it continues to decline. Maintenance costs for the next 4 years are estimated at $ 3000 this year and increasing 10% each year. Determine the marginal cost of extending the service for one year, for the next 4 years if the MARR is 12%. Fill in the blanks with the results. Calculate: a) The loss of market value in year 1 is $ b) Loss in interest in year 1 $ c) The Marginal Cost in year 1 is Show all the procedure for your answer thank you
Which of the following statements is CORRECT about replacement analysis where service lives of defender and challenger are unequal? Group of answer choices If the asset will be needed indefinitely use a study period approach. If asset replacement is a one-time occurrence, use a study period approach. In the study period approach, longer study period is best for projects with definitive end. For projects that are needed for a specific number of years, assume “Repeat Replacement.”
A machine that cost $120,000 3 years ago can be sold now for $51,500. Its market value is expected to be $40,000 and $20,000 1 year and 2 years from now, respectively. Its operating cost was $18,000 for the first 3 years of its life, but the M&O cost is expected to be $23,000 for the next 2 years. A new improved machine that can be purchased for $135,500 will have an economic life of 5 years, and an operating cost of $9,000 per year, and a salvage value of $32,000 whenever it is replaced. At an interest rate of 10% per year, determine if the presently owned machine should be replaced now, 1 year from now, or 2 years from now. The annual worth of the existing machine one year from now is $- 50500 O. the annual worth of the existing machine two years from now is $- 30,500 . and the annual worth of the new machine is $-112,500 The presently owned machine should be replaced now 13

A process engineer is considering two options for a new product line. One of the options must be chosen. • To make a unit in-house, equipment costing $250,000 must be purchased. It will have a life of 4 years, annual operating costs of $80,000, and a salvage value of $95,000. Each unit will also cost $40 to manufacture. Buying the unit externally will cost $100 per unit. The company's MARR is 12% per year. a. If the anticipated volume is 2000 units per year, what is the annual equivalent cost for making the item in-house? [Select] b. If the anticipated v [Select] $222,430 $142,430 [Select] $182,430 $202,430 $262,430 e engineer should b.

A critical machine in BHP Billiton's copper refining operation was purchased 7 years ago for $160,000. Last year a replacement study was performed with the decision to retain it for 3 more years. The situation has changed. The equipment is estimated to have a value of $8000 if "scavenged" for parts now or anytime in the future. If kept in service, it can be minimally upgraded at a cost of $43,000 to make it usable for up to 2 more years. Its operating cost is estimated at $22,000 in the first year and $29,000 in the second year. Alternatively, the company can purchase a new system, the challenger, that will have an AWC of $-55,000 over its ESL. Use a MARR of 10% per year and annual worth analysis to determine when the company should replace the machine. The AW value of the challenger is $- and the AW value of the defender at the end of year 2 is $- The company should replace the machine (Click to select)
