Answer: (NOTE: ENTER YOUR ANSWER WITHOUT COMMA, ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST TON, for instance as 5824, not as 5,824.24) DO NOT ROUND IN YOUR CALCULATION STEPS (USE CALCULATOR MEMORY FUNCTIONS) Tri-State Logistics is looking to purchase a new unloading robot for one of its sites. The choice is between machine A and machine B, with both machines lasting 8 years. Machine A would cost $67,000 to purchase, its operating cost would be $385 per ton of material unloaded, and it would be sold for $27,000 at the end of the 8 years. Machine B would cost $86,000 to purchase, its operating cost would be $288 per ton of material unloaded, and it would be sold for $36,000 at the end of 8 years. Assuming 4% interest rate, calculate the minimum annual number of tons of material unloaded, that would be required to choose machine B over machine A. Answer: (NOTE: ENTER YOUR ANSWER WITHOUT THE $ AND COMMA, ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST DOLLAR, for instance as 10023, not as $10,022.78) DO NOT ROUND IN YOUR CALCULATION STEPS (USE CALCULATOR MEMORY FUNCTIONS) Supersmart Consulting PPL is evaluating a client's proposed project.
