Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction firm plans to replace machinery valued annually at a decline rate of 25%. Assess its economic life modeled until it costs more to run it than to replace it. Develop a cost-benefit chart using EAC.

💡 Hint: Analyze costs thoroughly to spot replacement points effectively.

Question 2

Given two competing machines, one incurs higher operating costs but has a lower initial investment, while the other has a higher initial cost but lower operational costs. Use EAC to recommend the optimal replacement choice considering a 10-year life span.

💡 Hint: Display findings clearly using comparative visuals.
