- Discuss the types of Abandonment in e-commercearrow_forwardChatham Automotive purchased new electric forklifts to move steel automobile parts two years ago. They cost $65,000 each, including the charging stand. In practice, it was found that they did not hold a charge as long as claimed by the manufacturer, so operating costs are very high. As a result, their current salvage value is about $9,000. Chatham is considering replacing them with propane models. New propane forklifts cost $58,000 each. After one year, they have a salvage value of $40,000, and thereafter decline in value at a declining-balance depreciation rate of 20 percent, as does the electric model from this time on. The MARR is 8 percent. Operating costs for the electric model will be $19,000 this year, rising by 12 percent per year. Operating costs for the propane model will initially be $11,000 over the first year, rising by 12 percent per year. Should Chatham Automotive replace the forklifts now?
