The plant manager has asked you to do a cost analysis to determine when currently owned equipment should be replaced. The manager stated that under no circumstances will the existing equipment be retained longer than two more years and that once it is replaced, a contractor will provide the same service from then on at a cost of $97,000 per year. The salvage value of the currently owned equipment is estimated to be $37,000 now, $30,000 in 1 year, and $19,000 two years from now. The operating cost is expected to be $85,000 per year. Using an interest rate of 10% per year, determine when the defending equipment should be retired

The purchased price of the equipment is P12,000 and its estimated maintenance costs are P500 for the first year P1,500 for the second year and P2,500 for the third year. After three years of used equipment is replaced, it has no salvage value. Compute the present equivalent cost of the equipment using 10% interest. (capitalized cost with solution)
Show complete solution An existing machine in the factory has an annual maintenance cost of 40,000. A new and more efficient machine will require an investment of 90,000 and it is estimated to have a salvage value of 30,000 at the end of 8 years. Its annual expenses for maintenance is 22,000.
