Grand forks must choose between two new snow-removal


Grand Forks must choose between two new snow-removal machines. The SuperBlower has a $70,000 first cost, a 20-year life, and an $8000 salvage value. At the end of 9 years (but not at the end of 18 years), it will need a major overhaul costing $19,000. Annual maintenance and operating costs are $9000. The Sno-Mover will cost $50,000, has an expected life of 10 years, and has no salvage value. The annual maintenance and operating costs are expected to be $12,000. Using a 10% interest rate and a 20-year planning horizon, which machine should be chosen? Assume that the Sno-Mover will be replaced one time in the planning horizon.
