A new manufacturing facility will produce two products, each of which requires a drilling operation during processing Two alternative types of drilling machines $($D$1$ and D$2)$ are being considered for purchase One of these machines must be selected For the same annual demand, the annual production requirements $($machine hours$)$ and the annual operating expenses $($per machine$)$ are listed in the table below Which machine should be selected if the MARR is $15\%$ per year? Assumptions. The facility will operate $2,000$ hours per year Machine availability is $80\%$ for Machine $D1$ and $75\%$ for Machine $D2$ The yield of $D1$ is $85\%,$ and the yield of $D2$ is $75\%$ Annual operating expenses are based on an assumed operation of $2,000$ hours per year, and workers are paid during any idle time of Machine $D1$ or Machine $D2$ Assume repeatability
