Question
Mustang Auto Parts, Inc. is considering one of
two forklift trucks for its assembly plant.
• Truck A costs $15,000 and requires $3,000 annually in operating expenses. It will have a $5,000
salvage value at the end of its three-year service
life.
• Truck B costs $20,000, but requires only $2,000
annually in operating expenses; its service life is
four years, at which time its expected salvage value
will be $8,000.
The firm’s MARR is 12%. Assuming that the trucks
are needed for 12 years and that no significant
changes are expected in the future price and functional capacity of each truck, select the most economical truck on the basis of AE analysis.

An energy consultant estimates that the heating bill can be reduced to $10,000 a year if $49,000 is invested to convert the old heating system to a new one. If the new heating system is adopted, there will be an extra maintenance fee of $2,000 each year. Both the old and new systems will have a zero salvage value at the end of their service lives and again both of them are expected to serve for a maximum of 20 years starting from now. What is the net annual equivalent worth for this investment in the new heating system, assuming a MARR of 11%? The annual net worth of installing the new heating system is $ (Round to the nearest dollar.)arrow_forward
