A company has two cranes: Crane A with an EAC of 7,00,000 and Crane B with an EAC of 5,50,000. If the interest rate doubles, calculate how the EAC might change for both cranes assuming similar cash flows.
💡 Hint: Consider how higher interest rates affect annuity values.
Given the challenger has an initial cost of 27,50,000 and an operating cost of 90,000, evaluate how much more the annual cost would be if the salvage value drops to 10,00,000 after 5 years compared to the current salvage estimate of 12,00,000.
💡 Hint: Calculate the difference in EAC based on the changed salvage value.
