Calculate the annual worth.
Explanation of Solution
Defender: At the beginning of each year, payment (BP) is $180,000. Time period (n) is 5. Interest (i) is 15%.
Challenger: Initial cost is $1,600,000. Annual operating cost (AC) is $58,000. Annual saving (AS) is $220,000. Salvage value (SV) is 30% to the initial cost. Thus, it is 480,000
Annual worth (AV) of the defender can be calculated as follows:
The annual worth of the defender is -$206,997.31.
Annual worth (AV) of the challenger can be calculated as follows:
The annual worth of the defender is -$244,107.2.
Since the annual cost of the defender is lower than challenger, retain the defender.
