I have gotten the answer incorrect three times. Can you please assist in answering this question:
Two methods can be used to produce solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $520,000, an AOC of $230,000 per year, and $155,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. Method 2 will cost $950,000 with an AOC of $155,000 and a $210,000 salvage value after its 5-year life. Assume your boss asked you to determine which method is better, but she wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. You estimate the salvage value of Method 2 will be 26% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the MARR is 12% per year, which method should the company select?
The company should select
MARR = 12%
Study period = 3 years
Method 1
Initial cost = 520000
AOC = 230000
Salvage value = 155000
Life = 3 years
Present worth of method 1 = -520000 - 230000* (P/A, 12%, 3) + 155000 *(P/F,12%,3)
= -520000 - 230000*2.4018312 + 155000 *0.71178024
= -962095.25
Method 2
Initial cost = 950000
AOC = 155000
Salvage value = 210000
Life = 5 years
As study period is three year and it is given salvage value will be 26% higher in EOY 3 than at EOY5
So, salvage value at EOY 3 = 1.26 * 210000 = 264600
Present worth of method 2 = -950000 - 155000* (P/A, 12%, 3) + 264600 *(P/F,12%,3)
= -950000 - 155000*2.4018312 + 264600 *0.71178024
= - 1133946.79
Method 1 should be selected as it has less present cost

4. (20 points) A machine purchased 3 years ago for $140,000 is now too slow to satisfy demand. The machine can be upgraded now for $70,000 (and thus be able to satisfy demand) or be sold to a smaller company for $40,000. After upgrading, the existing machine will have an annual operating cost of $85,000 per year, and an estimated life of 3 years after upgrading you will keep the...
