Use the following information. Defender: Current salvage value = $8,000, decreasing at an annual rate of 1000$ from the previous year’s value Required overhaul = $1,500 O&M = $2,000 in year 1, increasing by 30% per year Challenger: NC*=5 AECC*= 5500 MARR=10% Find the loss in PV from mistakenly keeping the defender one year longer than is optimal. So in other words, if you found that the optimal indefinite plan was (j0,1),(j,5)inf , then find the PV difference between that and the plan (j0,2),(j,5)inf. The PV difference is within $10 of:     269.11   289.11   309.11   329.11   None of the above
