The Container Corporation of America is considering replacing an automatic painting machine purchased 9 years ago for $700,000. It has a market value today of $40,000. The unit costs $350,000 annually to operate and maintain. A new unit can be purchased for $800,000 and will have annual O&M costs of $120,000. If the old unit is retained, it will have no salvage value at the end of its remaining life of 10 years. The new unit, if purchased, will have a salvage value of $100,000 in 10 years. Using an EUAC measure and a MARR of 20% should the automatic painting machine be replaced if the old automatic painting machine is taken as a trade-in for its market value of $40,000? Solve, a. Use the cash flow approach (insider’s viewpoint approach). b. Use the opportunity cost approach (outsider’s view point approach).
