Allen Construction purchased a crane 6 years ago for $130,000. They need a crane of this capacity for the next 5 years. Normal operation costs $35,000 per year. The current crane will have no salvage value at the end of 5 more years. Allen can trade in the current crane for its market value of $40,000 toward the purchase of a new one, which costs $150,000. The new crane will cost only $8,000 per year under normal operating conditions and will have a salvage value of $55,000 after 5 years. If MARR is 20%, determine which option is preferred

For retaining of Old Machine Equipment

Price of old equipment 3 yrs ago = $130,000

O & M cost per year = $35,000

Using the Cash flow approach

End of year Cash flow 1 Old equipment

0 $0 Initial Cash flow

1 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

2 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

3 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

4 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

5 -$35,000 O & M cost per year

Hence, Annual worth = Initial cash flow + Annual cost

Annual worth = 0 - $35,000

Annual worth = -$35,000

For buying of new equipment

Cost of buying new crane = $150,000

Market value of old crane = $40,000

Time = 5 years

O & M cost per year = $8,000

Salvage value = $55,000

MARR = 20%

Using the Cash flow approach

End of year Cash flow 1 New equipment

0 $110,000 -$150,000 + $40,000

1 -$8,000 O & M cost per year

2 -$8,000 O & M cost per year

3 -$8,000 O & M cost per year

4 -$8,000 O & M cost per year

5 $47,000 -$8,000 + $55,000

Annual worth = Initial cash flow + Annual cost + Salvage value

Annual worth = -$110,000(A/P 20%,5) - $8,000 + $55,000(A/P 20%,5)

Annual worth = -$110,000*(0.334) - $8,000 + $55,000*(0.134)

Annual worth = -$36,781.77 - $8,000 + $7,390.88

Annual worth = -$37,908.88

Conclusion: We should retain the old machine as it is more favorable than purchase of new equipment

Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact thatmr=mc at the optimal quantity for each firm. furthermore, a monopolistically competitive firm's average total cost in long-run equilibrium isless than the minimum average total cost. true or false: this indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for engines. true false monopolistic competition may also be socially inefficient because there are too many or too few firms in the market. the presence of the externality implies that there is too little entry of new firms in the market.
