From Challenger Minimum EUAC Section:

1. Below are the projected costs of the initial construction and yearly maintenance of a large municipal swimming pool. Assume an interest rate of 8%. In what year should the pool be replaced. What is the minimum EUAC of the pool to the closest dollar and in what year does it occur?

Reasoning/Work:

From Replacement Technique 1 Section:

2. An existing drill press has a salvage value now of $8000, which will fall to $6400 by the end of the year. The cost of lower productivity using this drill press is $4250 this year. A new-fangled drill press, being considered as a replacement, has the following salvage values and loss of productivity:

Year

Assume an interest rate of 15%. Calculate the EUAC for each year of the new-fangled drill press. Calculate the marginal cost of the existing drill press. In what year does the new-fangled drill press EUAC fall below the marginal cost of the existing drill press and what is the amount of the new-fangled drill press EUAC to closest dollar of that year?

Answers: Year new-fangled EUAC is less than Existings marginal cost: ____, EUAC in that year:___________ <25 pts>
