radar Gps capital investment $300,000 $450,000 Annual expenses 60,000 30,000 salvage value 40,000 80,000

Explanation / Answer

Given that radar and GPS perform almost the same task and both have a useful life of 6 years, the aim is to minimize EUAC.

Radar

EUAC = 300,000(A/P, 12%, 6) + 60,000 - 40000(A/F, 12%, 6)

= 300,000(0.2432) + 60,000 – 40000(0.1232)

=72,960 + 60,000 – 4,928

=$128,032

GPS

EUAC = 450,000(A/P, 12%, 6) + 30,000 - 80000(A/F, 12%, 6)

= 450,000(0.2432) + 30,000 - 80000(0.1232)

=109,440 + 30,000 – 9,856

=$129,584

To minimize EUAC, select Radar
