Answer:

Machine B should be purchased because it has a lower equivalent annual cost

Explanation:

To determine the better of the two options, we would compare the equivalent annual cost of each options using a discount rate of 14% per annum

Equivalent annual cost = Total PV of cost /Annuity factor

Total PV of cost = Initial cost + PV of annual operating cost

PV of annual operating cost= Annual operating cost × Annuity factor

Annuity factor = (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

r- rate , n- years

Machine A

PV of annual operating cost = 8,000 × (1- 1.14^(-3)/0.14= 18573.05622

PV of total cost = 290,000 +18573.05622 = 308,573.06

Uniform Annual cost = 308,573.06 /2.321632027 = 132,912.13

Equivalent annual cost = $132,912.13

Machine B

PV of annual operating cost = 12,000 × (1- 1.14^(-2)/0.14= 19759.92613

PV of total cost = 180,000 + 19759.92613 = 199,759.93

Equivalent annual cost = 199,759.93 /1.6466=$121,312.15

Equivalent annual cost = $121,312.15

Machine B should be purchased because it has a lower equivalent annual cost

Total PV of cost

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, the question is incomplete. Indeed, there is no question at all, just a series of statements.

What we can do is to comment on this case.

We are talking about the story of Bob Bell and Michael Sharpe.

Royalties were the main reason for this dispute. Bob Bell was the engineer that invented the bicycle trailer. Michale Sharpe would focus on Marketing the product due to his experience with computers and sales. Sharpe wanted both to share the financial risks but Bell considered it hos invention and wanted more royalties. Things went in the wrong direction, the situation got worse and they both hired lawyers in Toronto, Canada.

After disputes and legal actions, Bell won the case and he could expanse his business nationwide and signed an agreement with a Chinese company to sell the product. On the other hand, Sharpe made a 180-degree turn and started a fitness business.
