Textbook Question
Chapter E, Problem 17P
Regional Power owns 25 small power generating plants. It has contracted with Genco Services to overhaul the power turbines of each of the plants. The number of hours that Genco billed Regional to complete the third turbine was 460 Regional pays Genco $60 per hour for its services. As the maintenance manager for Regional, you are trying to estimate the cost of overhauling the fourth turbine. How much would you expect to pay for the overhaul of number 5 and number 6? All the turbines are similar, and an 80% learning curve is appropriate.

Chatham Automotive purchased new electric forklifts to move steel automobile parts two years ago. They cost
$65,000
each, including the charging stand. In practice, it was found that they did not hold a charge as long as claimed by the manufacturer, so operating costs are very high. As a result, their current salvage value is about
$9,000.
Chatham is considering replacing them with propane models. New propane forklifts cost
$58,000
each. After one year, they have a salvage value of
$40,000,
and thereafter decline in value at a declining-balance depreciation rate of
20
percent, as does the electric model from this time on. The MARR is
8
percent. Operating costs for the electric model will be
$19,000
this year, rising by
12
percent per year. Operating costs for the propane model will initially be
$11,000
over the first year, rising by
12
percent per year. Should Chatham Automotive replace the forklifts now?
Find EAC for both propane and elctric forklifts.

Justin is a carpenter and makes furniture which he sells via the internet. He needs a new machine
with steel attachments to speed up the drilling process for his work. He contacts Fixing and
Building Machines Ltd who recommends a machine which they claim is more than 10 times
quicker and stronger than his old machine.
Justin goes into Fixing and Building Machines Ltd. Before paying for the machine, he sees a sign
on the wall behind the counter that has the words “Important Information: READ BEFORE
PURCHASE! Fixing and Building Machines Ltd accepts no liability.....” in bold, red print at the
top. However, the sign is falling down from the wall and the rest of the words are obscured by a
large plant. Had Justin been able to read the rest of the sign, he would have read “....for loss
howsoever caused.”
Justin signs a document, buys this machine and takes it with him. When he tried it he found it to
be no quicker than his old one and the attachments broke. He also found that it started…

The machine is required to have an immediate repair that costs $2,000. The estimated market values are expected to decline by 20% annually (going forward). The machine can be used for another 7 years at most. The new machine has a $40,000 purchasing price. The new machine's O&M cost is estimated to be $4,000 for the first year, decreasing at an annual rate of $100 thereafter. The firm's MARR is 10%.

- Statement of the Problem and Solutions Rollin King and Herb Kelleher started Southwest Airlines in 1971 with this idea: if they could take airline passengers where they want to go, on time, at the lowest possible price, and have a good time while doing it, people would love to fly their airline. The result? No other airline in the industry's history has enjoyed the customer loyalty and extended profitability for which Southwest is now famous. The company now flies more than 3,400 times each day to over 64 destinations across the United States There's more to the story, however, than making promises and hoping to fulfill them. A large part of Southwest Airlines' success lies in its ability to plan long-term capacity to better match demand, as also improving the utilization of its fleet by turning around an aircraft at the gate faster than its competitors. Capacity at Southwest is measured in seat miles, and even a single minute reduction in aircraft turnaround time system wide means…arrow_forwardIn addition to a product guarantee, should a manufacturer have a service guarantee?arrow_forwardWhat forms of maintenance do you propose for a well-known furniture manufacturing industry's software system?

- The annual operating costs of Machine A are $2,000. The machine will perform satisfactorily over the next five years and has an estimated market value (MV) of $3,000 at the end of its useful life. A salesperson for another company is offering a replacement, Machine B, for $14,000, with a MV of $1,400 after five years. Annual operating costs for Machine B will only be $1,500. It is believed that $10,000 could be obtained for the old machine A if it were sold now. If the before-tax MARR is 10% per year, determine whether the old machine A should be replaced by the new machine B.arrow_forwardAssume that a company is considering buying a new piece of equipment for $240,000 that would have a useful life of five years and no salvage value.

The manufacturer of the electric cars claims that this municipality will experience significant cost savings over the life of the fleet if it chooses to pursue the conversion. If the manufacturer is correct, the city will save about $1.5 million dollars. If the new technology employed within the electric cars is faulty, as some critics suggest, the conversion to electric cars will cost the city $675,000. A third possibility is that less serious problems will arise and the city will break even with the conversion. A consultant hired by the city estimates that the probabilities of these three outcomes are 0.30, 0.30, and 0.40, respectively. The city has an opportunity to implement a pilot program that would indicate the potential cost or savings resulting from a switch to electric cars. The pilot program involves renting a small number of electric cars for three months and running them…arrow_forward
