Harry, owner of an automobile battery distributorship in Atlanta, Georgia, performed an economic analysis 3 years ago when he decided to place surge protectors in-line for all his major pieces of testing equipment. The estimates used and the annual worth analysis at MARR = 15% are summarized below. Two different manufacturers' protectors were compared. PowrUp Lloyd's Cost and installation, $ -26,000 -36,000 Annual maintenance cost, S per year -800 -300 2,000 3,000 Salvage value, s Equipment repair savings, S 25,000 35,000 Useful life, years 10 The spreadsheet in below sheet is the one Harry used to make the decision. Lloyd's was the clear choice due to its substantially larger AW value. The Lloyd's protectors were installed. 15% MARR PoweUp Lloyd's Investment Annual Repair Investment Annual Repair Years and salvage maintenance savings and salvage maintenance savings 0 -$26,000 $0 $0 -$36,000 $0 $0 1 $0 -$800 $25,000 $0 $300 $35,000 2 $0 -$800 $25,000 $0 -5300 $35,000 3 $0 -5800 $25,000 $0 5300 $35,000 4 $0 -$800 $25,000 $0 $300 $35.000 5 $0 -$800 $25,000 $0 $300 $35,000 6 $0 -$800 $25,000 $0 -$300 $35,000 7 $2,000 -$800 $25,000 $0 $300 $35,000 8 $0 $300 $35,000 9 $0 -$300 $35,000 10 $3,000 -$300 $35,000 AW element -$6,068 -$800 $25,000 -$7,025 -$300 $35.000 Total AW $18,131.35 $27.674.68 During a quick review this last year (year 3 of operation), it was obvious that the maintenance costs and repair savings have not followed (and will not follow) the estimates made 3 years ago. In fact, the maintenance contract cost (which includes quarterly inspection) is going from $300 to $1200 per year next year and will then increase 5% per year for the next 10 years. Also, the repair savings for the last 3 years were $32,086, $27,050, and $37,697, as best as Harry can determine. He believes savings will decrease by $1,063 per year hereafter. Finally, these 3-year-old protectors are worth nothing on the market now, so the salvage in 7 years is zero, not $3000. Case Study Exercises are worth zero, not $3000. Case Study Exercises I. Q1- Plot a graph of the newly estimated maintenance costs and repair savings projections, assuming the protectors last for seven more years. Q2- With these new estimates, what is the recalculated AW for the Lloyd's protectors? Use the old first cost and maintenance cost estimates for the first 3 years. type your answer in the answer box Q3- If these estimates had been made 3 years ago, would Lloyd's still have been the economic choice Q4- How has the capital recovery amount changed for the Lloyd's protectors with these new estimates?
