The AW values for retaining a presently owned machine for additional years are shown in the table. Note that the values represent the AW amount for each of the n years that the asset is kept, i.e., if it is kept 5 more years, the annual worth is $−95,000 for each of the 5 years. Assume that future costs remain as estimated for the replacement study and that used machines like the one presently owned will always be available.   (a) What is the ESL and associated AW of the defender at a MARR of 12% per year?   (b) A challenger with an ESL of 7 years and an AWC = $-88,000 per year has been identified. Which AW will be less for the respective ESL periods?   Retention Period, Years AW Value, $ per Year 1 -87,000 2 -93,000 3 -85,000 4 -83,000 5 -95,000     a) The ESL of the defender is_____  year(s) with the lowest AW of $_________  .   b) The______________  has the lower AW at _________$  for n equal to ______ .

A construction company is considering the proposed acquisition of a newearthmover. The purchase price is $100,000, and an additional $25,000 is required to modify the equipment for special use by the company. The equipment falls into the MACRS five-year classification (tax life). and it will be sold after five year. (project life) for $50,000. Purchase of the earthmover will have no effect on revenues. but it is expected 10 save the firm $60,000 per year in before-tax operating costs-mainly labor.The firm's marginal tax rate is 40%. Assume that the initial investment is to be financed. by a bank loan at an intrest rate of 10% payable annually.
