Certain parts for NASA’s reusable space exploration vehicle can either be anodized (A) or powder coated (P). Some of the costs for each process are shown in the table below. The incremental cash flow future worth equation associated with (P – A) is: 0 = ?53,000(F?P, * PAi ? ,5) + 21,000(F?A, * PAi ? ,5) + 8000 Determine the following: (a) first cost for P; (b) M&O for A; and (c) resale value of P.

What will be an ideal response?


(a) - First cost P - (-30,000) = -53,000
First cost P = $-83,000
(b) -11,000 – (-M&O A ) = 21,000
M&O A = $-32,000
(c) Resale P – 4000 = 8000
Resale P = $12,000
