The replacement of a planning machine is being considered by the Reardorn Furniture Company. (There is an indefinite future need for this type of machine.) The best challenger will cost $32,00 for installation and will have an estimated economic life of 11 years and a $1,800 MV at that time. It is estimated that annual expenses will average $16,000 per year. The defender has a present of $6,000 and a present MV of $3500. Data for the defender for the next three years are given below.

DBS Builders Pte Ltd purchased an asphalt paver eight years ago for $280,000. The estimated operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for the next three years are $56,000, $68,000, and $82,000, respectively. The asphalt paver can be sold for $65,000 now, for $57,000 next year, for $45,000 two years from now, and for $28,000 three years from now. 4. The latest asphalt paver in the market costs $290,000 and has an estimated service life of five years. The salvage value is estimated to be $50,000 after five years. The expected annual O&M costs will be $6,000 for the first year and increase by $3,800 per year thereafter. If a before-tax minimum attractive rate of return (MARR) of 12% is estimated, what replacement decision should DBS Builders make?
Using the asset description and table below, find the economic service life (ESL) of the asset, assuming MARR = 8%. The company is committed to using the asset for the upcoming year, but is unsure about the following years. Today's market value is $70,000, and it will last another 4 years before failure. Each year, the after-tax market value decreases by $10,000. The operating cost of the asset in year 1 is expected to be $30,000, and it will increase by $5,000 each year through year 4. a. 3 yearsb. 1 yearc. 4 yearsd. 2 years
A stamping machine currently has a salvage value of $10 000, and this will drop by 20% per year from now on. Its expected maintenance costs are $1 000 for this year, but in the following year it is expected to need a major overhaul, costing $3 500. In the year following the overhaul, its maintenance costs will be $500, and these will then go up by 30% per year. Your MARR is 10%. There is a challenger available that will do the same job for an EAC of $3 400. When should you replace the old machine? [Enter your response in years]
A hospital in NYC area bought a diagnostic machine at a cost of $40,000. Maintenance cost is expected to remain constant throughout the life of this machine at $2,000 per year. The salvage value is estimated to be “0” at the end of the useful life of 10 years. Determine the economic life of this machine. MARR = 10% A. 5 years B. 1 year C. 10 years D. 7 years
