A mechanical engineer designs and sells equipment that automates manual labor processes. He is offering a machine/robot combination that will significantly reduce labor costs associated with manufacturing garage-door opener transmitters. The equipment has a first cost of $170,000, an estimated annual operating cost of $37,000, a maximum useful life of 5 years, and a $21,500 salvage value anytime it is replaced. The existing equipment was purchased 12 years ago for $65,000 and has an annual operating cost of $78,000. The currently owned equipment can be used for 2 more years after which it will be auctioned off for an expected amount of $4,250, less 36% paid to the company handling the auction. The same scenario will occur if the currently owned equipment is replaced at present. Determine the defender and challenger estimates of P,n, S, and AOC in conducting a replacement analysis today at an interest rate of 20% per year. The Pvalue for defender is $ The n value for defender is The Svalue for defender is $ The AOC value for defender is $ years
