Explanation of Solution

Time period is denoted by n and the interest is denoted by i. The present worth (PW) of defender (Old boat) can be calculated as follows.

PWDefender=MV+Expense((1+i)n1i(1+i)n)+Total mile×Mileage×CostFuelMVEnd of the life(1+i)n=3,000+400((1+0.15)210.15(1+0.15)2)+200×2×5500(1+0.15)2=4,085   

Annual worth of defender is $4,085.

The present worth (PW) of challenger (New boat) can be calculated as follows.

PWDefender=Investment+Expense((1+i)n1i(1+i)n)+Total mile×Mileage×CostFuelMVEnd of the life(1+i)n=10,000+200×10×57,000(1+0.15)2=4,870   

Present worth is $4,870. Since the present worth of the cost is less for the defender, retain the defender one more year.
