Alternative 1: You purchase a model A for 120,000 TL. The useful life is 5 years. The depreciation method is straight line with a final book value of 0. Annual maintenance cost is 10,000 TL. The final market value is 0. In order to operate this machine you need two technicians whose current annual salary is 30,000 TL each. The annual salaries are expected to increase 10% every year.
