From Replacement Technique 1 Section:

An existing drill press has a salvage value now of $5000, which will fall to $4000 by the end of the year. The cost of lower productivity using this drill press is $3000 this year. A new-fangled drill press, being considered as a replacement, has the following salvage values and loss of productivity:

Year

$3000

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 of that year?

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

Question: Find Present Worth (PW), and EUAC(Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost)

Reasoning/Work: Use :

Defender Marginal Cost = Loss in Salvage Value + Lost Interest + Lost Productivity

Defender Marginal Cost = (5,000 4,000) + 5000*0.15 + 3,000 = $4,750

And complete the Table below:
