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 | Salvage | Productivity Loss |
| 0 | $12,000 |
|
| 1 | $9000 | $0 |
| 2 | $7000 | $1000 |
| 3 | $5000 | $2000 |
| 4 | $3000 | $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:
| Year | Salvage | Loss in SV | Interest Year n | Productivity Loss | Marginal costs | PW of cost | EUAC |
| 0 | 12000 |
