Waldorf Manufacturing is operating a production facility, which will be closed in 3 years. A decision needs to be made whether to keep the existing machine in operation for 3 more years, despite its significant wear and tear, or whether to acquire a new machine instead, only to be used for 3 years before sold. The existing machine could be sold for $47,000 today, or if kept for 3 more years, could be sold for $15,000 in 3 years. Its annual operating and maintenance costs are $18,000. Replacing the existing machine with a new one would have no impact on revenues. Calculate the annual worth (AW) of keeping the defender for 3 more years. Use 8% interest rate for discounting. (Note: your answer should be viewed as the AW of the machine's costs, so entered as a positive number.) Answer: Previous page Finish attempt TOSHIBA
