Explanation / Answer

Value of the machine = $98090

Holding cost is 30% of value= 98090*30%= $29427

Daily holding cost- 29427/365=$80.62

In 1 case- daily cost= 3620/30=120

Daily holding cost is $80.62 so for 1 day it will be 120*80.62=$200

Total cost=200*30=6000

In case 2- 4900/22=222.72

Adding after holding cost – 222.72+80.62=$303.34

Total cost= 303.34*22=6673.48

Day saving is 8 days. If company is selecting 1st option then they will save $673.48 but will cost 8 more days. They are saving 300.34-200=100.34 by choosing option A per day but for 8 days they are losing 8*100.34=802

It means that they should choose second option.

Option E is correct
