"There are three machines in the mechancical engineering lab A. B, and C and need to be evaluated economically. Machine A has a first cost of $4500, an annual
operating cost (AOC) of $900, a salvage value of $200, and a service life 4 years. Machine B has a first cost of $3500, an annual operating cost (AOC) of $700, a
salvage value of $350 and a service life 4 years. Machine C has a first cost of $6000, an annual operating cost (AOC) of $50, a salvage value of $100, and a service
life 8 years. What is the present worth for machine C? The MARR is 10% per year"

- Check my work Two processes can be used for producing a polymer that reduces friction loss in engines. Process T will have a first cost of $740,000, an operating cost of $98.000 per year, and a salvage value of $80,000 after its 2-year life. Process W will have a first cost of $1,180,000, an operating cost of $25,000 per year, and a $120,000 salvage value after its 4-year life. Process W will also require updating at the end of year 2 at a cost of $90,000. Which process should be selected on the basis of a present worth analysis at a MARR of 12% per year?
