Angstrom Technologies intends for the company to use the newest and finest equipment in its labs. Precision measurement equipment was purchased 7 years ago for $160,000. Last year a replacement study was performed with the decision to retain for 3 more years. The situation has changed. The equipment is estimated to have a value of $8000 if "scavenged" for parts now or anytime in the future. If kept in service, it can be minimally upgraded at a cost of $43,000 to make it usable for up to 2 more years. Its operating cost is estimated at $22,000 the first year and $25,000 the second year. Alternatively, the company can purchase a new system that will have an equivalent annual worth of $47,063 per year over its ESL. The company uses a MARR of 10% per year. Use annual worth analysis to determine when the company should replace the machine.arrow_forward

The continuous problem has been that the locomotives used by the company are not very reliable. Even with prior decisions to resolve the problem, there still has not been a change in the reliability of these locomotives. Between 2013 and 2014, 155 new locomotives were purchased and one of CBN's repair shops was reno- vated. The renovated shop has been very inefficient. Spychalski estimated that the shop would complete 300 overhauls on a yearly basis, but instead it has only managed to com- plete an average of 160 overhauls per year. The company has also been doing a poor job servicing customers (that is, providing equipment). CBN has averaged only 87 to 88 percent equipment availability, compared to other railroads with availability figures greater than 90 percent. Increased business in the rail industry has been a reason for trying to reduce the time…arrow_forward
