Problem #1 (60 p): Mowasalat is considering between two alternatives for purchasing sensors to improve the monitoring of transport services in Qatar Alternative 1: Purchase sensors at a cost of $30 per unit that can be used direety in he vehicles. Alternative 2: It can manufacture the sensors locally at $20 per unit. However, it needs to buy an electronic device today at $150,000. Labor and other operating costs are estimated to be $30,000 per year over the study period of 10 years. Salvage value is estimated at 10% of first cost and interest rate is 10% per year. Using the breakeven analysis, determine which alternative M owasalat should choose if the number of needed sensors is 5,500 each year.
