- As supervisor of a facilities engineering department, you consider mobile cranes to be critical equipment. The purchase of a new, medium-sized truck-mounted crane is being evaluated. The economic estimates for the two best alternatives are shown in the following table. MARR is at 15% per year. You can use the assumption of repeatability in this case. Show that the same selection is made for the following methods:a. RORAI method b. AWC method c. PW methodarrow_forwardThere are two alternative machines for a manufacturing process. Both machines have the same output rate, but they differ in costs. Machine A costs $20,000 to set up and $8,000 per year to operate. It must be completely replaced every 3 years, and it has no salvage value. Machine B costs $50,000 to set up and $2,160 per year to operate. It should last for 5 years and has no salvage value.
