- The following data for X and Y are in format [XY]. First cost in $: [-80,000,-95,000], Annual cost in $: [-20,000, -15,000], Salvage value in $: [10,000, 30,000], $ Life in years [2,4]. The interest rate is 10% per year. The equation that will calculate the present worth of machine X is: Select one: a. b. O c. PWX = -80,000 - 20,000(P/A, 10%,2) + 10,000(P/F,10%,2) PWX = -80,000 - 15,000(P/A, 10%,4) + 30,000[P/F,10%,4) PWX = -80,000 - 20,000(P/A,10%,4) - 70,000[P/F,10%,2) + 10,000(P/F,10%,4) O d. PWX = -80,000 - 20,000(P/A, 10%,4) - 80,000(P/F,10%,2) + 10,000 (P/F,10%,4)arrow_forwardSince many U.S. Navy aircraft are at or near their usual retirement age of 30 years, military officials want a precise system to assess when aircraft should be taken out of service. A computational method developed at Carnegie Mellon maps in 3-D the microstructure of aircraft materials in their present state so that engineers can test them under different conditions of moisture, salt, dirt, etc. Military officials can then determine if an aircraft is fine, is in need of overhaul, or should be retired. If the 3-D system allows the Navy to use one airplane 2 years longer than it normally would have been used, thereby delaying the purchase of a $20 million aircraft for 2 years, what is the present worth of the assessment system at an interest rate of 8% per year?arrow_forwardYou work for Midstates Solar Power where a Semi2 machine has an initial cost of $80,000 and an operating cost of $21,000 per year until year 5, after which it would have a salvage value of $13,000. The Auto1 machine has an initial cost of $62,000 and an operating cost of $21,000 in year 1, increasing at 8% per year until year 5, after which time it would have a salvage value of $2,000. Use an interest rate of 10% per year to determine: (a) Which of the two machines will have the least total annual cost.arrow_forward
