Air links a commuter airline company is considering


Air Links, a commuter airline company, is considering replacing one of its baggage-handling machines with a newer and more efficient one. The current book value of the old machine is $43,000, and it has a remaining useful life of five years. The salvage value expected from scrapping the old machine at the end of five years is $0, but the company can sell the machine now to another firm in the industry for $14,000. The new baggage-handling machine has a purchase price of $125,000 and an estimated useful life of seven years. It has an estimated salvage value of $37,000 and is expected to realize economic savings on electric power usage, labor, and repair costs and also to reduce the amount of damaged luggage. In total, an annual savings of $52,000 will be realized if the new machine is installed. The firm uses a 12% MARR. Using the opportunity cost approach, what is the ANNUAL EQUIVALENT WORTH of the preferred alternative? Ignore the effect of taxes and depreciation.
