This is a problem with mutually exclusive projects. You should evaluate each project separately. The first two submissions are not required, worth zero points, and allow unlimited tries - their purpose is to help you figure out if you are on track, or if you are making mistakes. The next two submissions are worth five points each, and you are allowed four tries for each. ______________________________________________________ The Lansing Community College registrar's office is considering replacing some Canon copiers with faster copiers purchased from Kodak. The office's 4 Canon machines are expected to last 5 more years. They can each be sold immediately for $900; their resale value in 5 years will be zero. The total cost of the new Kodak equipment will be $119,000; the equipment will have a life of 5 years and a total disposal value at that time of $2,500. The 4 Canon operators are paid $7.90 an hour each. They work a 38-hour week and 52 weeks a year. The machines break down periodically, resulting in annual repair costs of $1,080 for each machine. Supplies cost $1,440 a year for each Canon copier. The Kodak system will require only 2 regular operators. Kodak has offered the college a maintenance contract that covers all machine breakdowns; the cost of the contract is $780 per year. Total cost for all supplies will be $250 per month.
