A portable concrete test instrument used in construction for evaluating and profiling concrete surfaces (MACRS-GDS 5-year property class) is under consideration by a construction firm for $18,500. The instrument will be used for 6 years and be worth $3,000 at that time. The annual cost of use and maintenance will be $13,000. Alternatively, a more automated instrument (same property class) available from the manufacturer costs $32,500, with use and maintenance costs of only $5,500 and salvage value after 6 years of $1,500. The marginal tax rate is 40%, and MARR is an after-tax 12%. Determine which alternative is less costly, based upon comparison of after-tax annual worth. Show the AW values used to make your decision for Alternative 1 and Alternative 2.
