Polypropylene wall caps, used for covering exterior vents for kitchen cooktops. bathroom fans, dryers, and
other building air exhausts. can be made by two different methods. Method X will have a first cost of $75,000.
an operating cost of $32,000 per year, and a $9000 salvage value after 4 years. Method Y will have a first cost of
$140,000. an operating cost of $24,000 per year, and a $19,000 salvage value after its 4-year life. At an interest
rate of 10% per year, which method should be used on the basis of an annual worth analysis?

An electric switch manufacturing company is trying to decide between three different assembly methods. Method A has an estimated first cost of $40,000, an annual operating cost (AOC) of $9000, and a service life of 2 years. Method B will cost $80,000 to buy and will have an AOC of $6000 over its 4-year service life. Method C costs $130,000 initially with an AOC of $4000 over its 8-year life. Methods A and B will have no salvage value, but Method C will have equipment worth 10% of its first cost. Perform both (a) future worth, and (b) present worth analyses to select the method at i = 10% per year.
To produce an item in-house, equipment costing $250,000 must be purchased. It will have a life of 4 years and an annual cost of $80,000; each unit will cost $40 to manufacture. Buying the item externally will cost $100 per unit. At i = 12%, determine the breakeven production number.
