James, the plant manager at Global Foundries (GF), received estimates from two contractors to improve traffic flow and repave the parking areas at his production facility. Proposal A includes new curbs, grading, and paving at an initial cost of $250,000. The expected life of the parking lot surface is 4 years with annual costs for maintenance and repainting of strips of $3000. According to proposal B, the pavement has a higher quality and an expected life of 12 years. The annual maintenance cost will be negligible for the parking area, but the markings will have to be repainted every 2 years at a cost of $5000. The MARR is 12% per year. (a) How much can GF afford to spend on proposal B for the two proposals to break even? (b) Proposal B first cost came in at $700,000. Now, what
is the breakeven initial cost for proposal A, if all other estimates are correct? What will be an ideal response?
