XYZ Company purchased a machine six years ago for $350,000. Last year a replacement study was performed wi the decision to retain the machine for 2 more years. However, this year the situation has changed. The machine estimated to have a value of only $8,000 now and if it is to be kept in service, upgrading at a cost of $50,000 will necessary to make it useful for up to 2 more years. Operating cost is expected to be $10,000 the first year and $15,0 the second year, with no salvage value at all. Alternatively, the company can purchase a new machine with an E of 7 years, no salvage value, and an equivalent annual cost of $ -55,540 per year. The MARR is 10% per year. the estimates above, determine U- a) When the company should replace the upgraded machine?

A 5 year-old tooling kit that was purchased new for $9000 has a current market value of $4000 and expected 0&M costs of $3000, increasing by $1200 per year. Future market values are expected to decline by 25% annually (going forward). The kit can be used for another 3 years at most. The optimal replacement kit costs $8000 and has 0&M costs starting at $2500 per year, increasing by $2000 per year. Salvage value for the new kit at the end of the first year is $4000 and falls by $1000 per year thereafter (until zero). The new model kit will be needed indefinitely. Assume a unique minimum AEC~(15%) for both kits (both the current and replacement kit). The MARR is 15%. 1) What is the AECC• ? a) Less than 6925.70 b) 6925.70-6945.70 c) 6945.70-6965.70 ) d) 6965.70-6985.70 e) More than 6985.70

The following tables show the marginal costs of a defender over its remaining four years of service life. If the challenger's minimum EUAC is $29,403, what is the most appropriate replacement decision? Year 1234 Marginal cost $31,053 $26,353 $28,003 $32,803 ○ A. No decision can be made unless additional calculations are made on the challenger B. Replace the defender now OC. No decision can be made unless additional calculations are made on the defender ○ D. Keep the defender for at least one more year
We bought a CNC machine 3 years ago for $100,000 with a salvage value of $20,000 after 8 years. It has an annual operating cost of $30,000. A new machine is available at a price of $120,000, a life of 10 years and a salvage value of $30,000. The annual operating cost for this machine is $15,000. The market value for the CNC machine is $70,000 now. At MARR= 10% per year should we keep the CNC machine or replace it?
Problem # 1 A machine has a first cost of $10,000. Its market value declines by 20% annually. The repair costs are covered by the warranty in Year 1, and then they increase $600 per year. The firm's MARR is 15%. Find the minimum EUAC for this machine and its economic life.
