A company has to choose one of three different assembly methods. Method A will have a first cost of $30,000 an annual operating cost of $9,000 and a service life of 2 years. Method B will cost $80,000, to buy and will have an annual operating cost of $6,000 over its 4-year service life. Method C will cost $130,000 initially with an annual operating cost of $4000 over its 8-year life. Methods A and B will have no salvage value, but method C will have some equipment worth an estimated $12,000. Asuume that the interest rate is 10 per year and we use the present worth method. a) Draw cash-flow diagrams for all methods. b9 Which method should be selected?
