Cyber Manufacturing is purchasing a complete video borescope system for applications that require work in places that eyes cannot see. The purchase price is $8,800, shipping and delivery is $300, installation cost is $1,350, tax recovery period is 5 years, book depreciation period is 10 years, salvage value is estimated to be $500, and operating cost (with technician) will be $45,000 per year. For MACRS depreciation of the system, what are the values of basis (B), salvage value (S), and recovery period (n)

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
