Your company needs a machine for the next seven years, and you have two choices (assume an annual interest rate of 6%).
Machine A costs $140,000 and has an annual operating cost of $46,000. Machine A has a useful life of seven years and a salvage value of $8,000.
Machine B costs $180,000 and has an annual operating cost of $24,000. Machine B has a useful life of five years and no salvage value. However, the life of Machine B can be extended by two years with a certain amount of investment. If Machine B's life is extended, it will still cost $24,000 annually to operate and still have no salvage value.
What would you pay at the end of year 5 to extend the life of Machine B by two years?
You should pay $________.(Round to the nearest dollar.)
Let the amount to be paid at the end of year 5 is X for machine B so that their present values are equal
140,000 + 46,000(P/A, 6%, 7) - 8,000(P/F, 6%, 7) = 180,000 + 24,000(P/A, 6%, 7) + X(P/F, 6%, 5)
140,000 + 46,000*5.5824 - 8,000*0.66506 = 180,000 + 24,000*5.5824 + X*0.74726
391,469.09 = 313,977.6 + X*0.74726
This gives X = 103,702
You should pay 103,702 to remain indifferent between A and B.
