Reference no: EM131806612

Question: A motor with a 200-horsepower output is needed in the factory for intermittent use. A Graybar motor costs $7000 and has an electrical efficiency of 89%. A Blueball motor costs $6000 and has an 85% efficiency. Neither motor would have any salvage value, since the cost to remove it would equal its scrap value. The annual maintenance cost for either motor is estimated at $300 per year. Electric power costs $0.072/kWh (1 hp =0.746 kW). If a 10% interest rate is used in the calculations, what is the minimum number of hours the higher initial cost Graybar motor must be used each year to justify its purchase?
