Consider the following cash flows for two mutually exclusive alternatives (One of the motors): Motor A Motor B Capital investment Annual expenses 9000 8000 5000 6000 Useful life 10 years 15 years Market value at end of useful life 0 1000 The MARR is 5% per year. A. Determine which alternative should be selected if the repeatability assumption applies. B. Determine which alternative should be selected if the analysis period is 15 years, the repeatability assumption does not apply, and the machine can be leased for $12,000 per year after the useful life of either machine is over. (Use the AW method) C. Assume the study period is shortened to 10 years. The market value of Alternative B after 10 years is estimated to be $2,000. Which alternative would you recommend?
