A contractor has purchased a wheel loader for $115,000 and plans to use it 2,000 hours per year.
The cost of one set of tires is $25,000. At this usage rate, the contractor anticipates disposing of the
loader after using it for 10 years and realizing a salvage value of $35,000. The flywheel horsepower
rating of the loader's diesel engine is 105 horsepower. The loader operator will earn $34.00 per
hour including fringe benefits, and diesel fuel costs $1.20 per gallon. The interest rate is 10%. How
much is the hourly oil and grease cost if the equipment operating factor is 0.5, crankcase capacity
is 15 gals, time between oil changes is 250 hours, cost of lube oil is $3.0 per gal, and cost of other
oils and grease is $0.5 per hour?

However, even though it is old, it is still functional as originally designed and can be used for quite a while longer. A new welder will cost 182,500 and have an estimated life of 8 years with no salvage value. The new welder will be much more efficient, however, and this enhanced efficiency will increase earnings before depreciation from 27,000 to 74,000 per year. The new machine will be depreciated over its 5-year MACRS recovery period, so the applicable depreciation rates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%.
