Ramsis is a heavy equipment rental company. It is considering the purchase of Tower crane at a price of BD 775,000. This crane is expected to operate for 15 years before retirement with no salvage value at the end. The company is planning to rent the crane for BD 108,000 per year starting year 4 and the rental increases by 10% thereafter. Cost of this maintenance is expected to be BD 15,000 each year. a) What is the discounted payback period, if the MARR is 7% per year? b) In your engineering analysis study, which method would you select (Payback or Present worth) to solve this problem? And why?

Be-low Mining, Inc., is trying to decide whether it should purchase or lease new earthmoving equipment. If purchased, the equipment will cost $175,000 and will be used 6 years, at which time it can be sold for $72,000. At Year 3, an overhaul costing $20,000 must be performed. The equipment can be leased for $30,000 per year. Be-low will not be responsible for the midlife overhaul if the equipment is leased. If the equipment is purchased, it will be leased to other mining companies when possible; this is expected to yield revenues of $15,000 per year. The annual operating cost regardless of the decision will be approximately equal. What would you recommend if the MARR is 6%?
