Consider two machines: Machine A purchased for 10,00,000 with a current value of 4,00,000 and increasing maintenance costs versus Machine B costing 5,00,000 with lower operational costs. Evaluate whether to replace Machine A with Machine B, assuming similar resale values.
💡 Hint: Evaluate the trade-offs in operational efficiency and cost before making a decision.
You have an old excavator bought for 15,00,000, now worth 3,00,000. It incurs annual operating costs of 2,00,000, but a new one at 12,00,000 with operating costs of 1,00,000. Calculate EAC for both and determine the better option.
