Apricot Computers is considering replacing its material handling system and either purchasing or leasing a new system. The old
system has an annual operating and maintenance cost of $30,000, a remaining life of 8 years, and an estimated salvage value of $4,300
at that time.
A new system can be purchased for $278,000; it will be worth $27,000 in 8 years; and it will have annual operating and maintenance
costs of $19,000/year. If the new system is purchased, the old system can be traded in for $21,000.
Leasing a new system will cost $25,000/year, payable at the beginning of the year, plus operating costs of $8,700/year, payable at the
end of the year. If the new system is leased, the old system will be sold for $10,000.
MARR is 18%. Compare the annual worths of keeping the old system, buying a new system, and leasing a new system based upon a
planning horizon of 8 years.
