An electric switch manufacturing company is trying to decide between three different assembly methods. Method A has an estimated first cost of $30,000, an annual operating cost (AOC) of $4,000, and a service life of 2 years. Method B will cost $70,000 to buy and will have an AOC of $3,000 over its 4-year service life. Method C costs $115,000 initially with an AOC of $3,000 over its 8-year life. Methods A and B will have no salvage value, but Method C will have equipment worth 6% of its first cost.
Required information
One of two methods must be used to produce expansion anchors. Method A costs $65.000 initially and will have a
$14.000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $23,000 per year. Method B will have a
first cost of $140,000, an operating cost of $14,000 per year, and a $32.000 salvage value after its 3-year life. The interest
rate for both the methods is 15%.
Which method should be used on the basis of a present worth analysis?
The present worth of method A Is $
and that of method B is $
Method (Cick to solect) v is selected by the company.

- A jalapeno canning company is faced with a make/ buy decision. Cardboard shipping cartons can be purchased for $0.60 each or made in-house. If manufactured, two machines will be required. Machine X will cost $20,000 and have a life of 6 years with a $2000 salvage value. Machine Y will cost $11,000 and have a life of 4 years with no salvage value. The annual maintenance cost for machines X and Y are $6000 and $5000 per year, respectively. A total of four operators will be required for the two machines at a rate of $22.50 per hour per person. In a normal 8-hour day, the four operators and two machines can produce 1000 cartons.
