Comparison of Depreciation between Two Machines
Question
You have been asked to choose between two pollution devices. The “Wet Scrub” costs $1,000 to set up and $500 per year to operate. It must be completely replaced every 3 years and it will have a salvage value of $100 when replaced. The “Dry Scrub” device costs $2,000 to set up but only $300 a year to operate. It lasts for 5 years and has no salvage value. In order to arrive at these estimates for the operating costs, you hired a consultant who has invoiced the company for $350. Both devices can be depreciated using straight line depreciation and the tax rate for the firm is 30%. Assuming that pollution control equipment is replaced as it wears out, and that the cost of capital is 10%, which device do you recommend?
Summary
The question belongs to Finance and it is about the comparison between two pollution devices, their operational costs per year, their depreciation and the cost of capital. You have to recommend which of the two devices is cost effective both in terms of initial investment, operational cost and cost of capital.

From my graduation days in statistics, I took help from HwA on a constant basis. So now that I am pursuing a very challenging certification course in biostatistics I am getting all the help I need from these brilliant experts. The fascinating part about HwA’s biostatistics team is that all the experts are both academically sound and also have adequate professional exposure to work on the critical biostatistics assignments.

HwA turned me into a chemistry lover from a chemistry hater. It was in my final years of my high school when I first took their help with my chemical compounds assignments and how I am doing my B.E. in Chemical Engineering and still taking their help in the matter.

I wanted to do a dissertation on consumer behaviour but was confused on how to identify a topic and write a report. The dissertation advisors here at TheReliableTutor had an online live session with me and after understanding my requirements they came up with three suggested Research Proposal Writing topics

The math tutors at TheReliableTutor.com are very helpful and they have real knowledge about the subject. I have tried many other online assignment writing services but the quality that I have got from TheReliableTutor.com is unmatched. That is why now I only use them for all my math assignment help for my masters program.

I was having a difficult time understanding the laws of conservation of mass and energy and use of tie components. With the brilliant tutors at TheReliableTutor I now have a much clearer understanding of the concepts. Their timely and professional tutoring with my chemical engineering assignments has helped me improve my grades and I am very satisfied with the way they provide their services

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
