Chatham 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?
Find EAC for both propane and elctric forklifts.
