Question
Chatham Automotive purchased new electric forklifts to move steel automobile parts two years ago. They cost
​$65,000
​each, including the charging stand. In​ practice, it was found that they did not hold a charge as long as claimed by the​ manufacturer, so operating costs are very high. As a​ result, their current salvage value is about
​$9,000.
 
Chatham is considering replacing them with propane models. New propane forklifts cost
​$58,000
each. After one​ year, they have a salvage value of
​$40,000​,
and thereafter decline in value at a​ declining-balance depreciation rate of
20
​percent, as does the electric model from this time on. The MARR is
8
percent. Operating costs for the electric model will be
​$19,000
this​ year, rising by
12
percent per year. Operating costs for the propane model will initially be
​$11,000
over the first​ year, rising by
12
percent per year. Should Chatham Automotive replace the forklifts​ now?
Find EAC for both propane and elctric forklifts.
