6. A property management company plans to replace the existing water pumps and has the choice of two options. Pump A has an expected life of 8 years. The initial cost is $100,000 and the annual Operation, Maintenance and Repair (OMR) cost is $10,000. This option has an expected additional energy cost of $240 per annum over the existing pumping system. An additional overhaul is required every 3 years at a cost of $15,000. The salvage value at the end of its life will be $5,000. Pump B has an expected life of 10 years. The initial cost is $125,000 and the annual Operation, Maintenance and Repair (OMR) cost is $9,500. This option has an expected energy saving of $360 per annum over the existing pumping system. An additional overhaul is required every 5 years at a cost of $20,000. The salvage value at the end of its life will be $3,500. Assuming that the annual discount rate is 9%, calculate (i) the annualised life cycle cost (ii) determine which option has the lower life cycle cost and (ii) list out the factor(s) affecting accuracy.
