The Mechanical Components Division manager asks you to recommend a make$/$buy decision on a major automotive subassembly that

is currently purchased externally for a total of $$3\mathrm{.}9$ million this year. This cost is expected to continue rising at a rate of $$300,000$ per

year. Your manager asks that both direct and indirect costs be included when in$-$house manufacturing $($make alternative$)$ is evaluated.

New equipment will cost $$2\mathrm{.}800$ million, have a salvage of $$0\mathrm{.}5$ million and a life of $6$ years. Estimates of materials, labor costs, and

other direct costs are $$2\mathrm{.}100$ million, per year. Typical indirect rates, bases, and expected usage are shown. Perform the AW evaluation

at MARR $=12\%$ per year over a $6-$year study period.
