Question:
24. Haley Motors is considering a maintenance contract for its heavy equipment. One firm has offered Haley a four-year contract for $100,000. Another firm has offered an eight-year contract for $165,000. Haley will be able to save $34,000 per year under either contract because its employees will no longer have to do the work themselves.
a. If Haley’s cost of capital is 10%, which project should be selected? Use both the replacement chain and the equivalent annual annuity (EAA) method to justify your answer.
b. If Haley’s cost of capital is 12%, does it change the decision? What about 14%?

Hello, myself a self-employed M.E(Master of engineering) graduate in Electrical Engineering majored in Industrial Drives and Control. I'm a college topper having graduated in distinction in the degree B.E(Bachelor of engineering). I have vast knowledge in Electrical Engineering, conceptual clarity, problem solving capability,MATLAB simulation solving. I have more than 2000 hours of teaching experience bringing the best interest to the student in grasping the subject in a nutshell and make them solve the problems with ease. My shortcuts and categorization in problem classification based on the toughness of problems students face helps students to take care on different theories and problems respective to the level of intensity those concept have.
I categorize the education process in the following steps.
1) Learn how everything happens-
Making the concepts clear. I do that by categorising the concepts according to the level on how student face the problem.
a)easy b) moderately tough c) tough d) never heard of
Each of the category will be studied separately.
2) Revision of the concepts learnt
Category a) revise once b) revise twice c) revise four times.
3) Solving the problems to clear the concept.
Whatever number of times one can study,he/she couldn't understand the subjects well enough unless he/she have done the problem and real life examples. This helps the individual to grow academically as well as individually as a subject expert.
So join me in this beautiful journey to learn the subject as a fun way.
Learning the subject without fun is boring and dries out in time.
I welcome you all to this fun ride in learning concepts and growing.
