Question

ibological 0.e, low friction) Dexcon Technologies, Inc., is evaluating two alternatives to produce its new plastic filament withtr properties f MARR of 10% per year, which alternative has the lower present worth? or creating custom bearings for 3-D printers. The estimates associated with each alternative are shown below. Using a Method DDM $-230,000 $-45,000 $4,000 LS First Cost M&O Cost, per Year Salvage Value Life $15,000 2 years 4 years The present worth for the DDM method is S The present worth for the LS method is S The Cick to select) method is selected

Explanation / Answer

Ddm

Depreciation = 230000- 4000 / 2

= 113000

Annual cost = 78100

First cost = 230000

Present worth = 230000 - 3306 + 78100

= 304794

LS

First cost = 410000

Annual cost = 110945

Present value of salvage = 10245

Worth of LS = 510700
