ABC Beverage, LLC purchases its 355-ml cans in large bulk from Wald-China Can Corporation. The finish on the anodized aluminum surface is pro­duced by mechanical finishing technologies called brushing or bead blasting. Engineers at Wald are switching to more efficient, faster, and cheaper ma­chines to supply ABC. Use the estimates and MARR = 8% per year to select between the two alternatives.

Brush alternative: P = $?400,000; n = 10 years; S = $50,000; non-labor AOC = $?60,000 in year 1, decreasing by $5000 annually starting in year 2 Bead blasting alternative: P = $?400,000; n is large, assume permanent; no salvage; non-labor AOC = $?70,000 per year
