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.

The object oriented programming languages like C++ and Java were a nightmare for me and my professor rushed off with her lectures so fast that I couldn’t catch up with the syllabus. Then once HwA started helped me out with my programming homework I got more time to understand how the things summed up.
Marissa Tan Student
I was really very poor at drawing phase diagrams in my material science course. In fact that was the first time I looked for help from HwA. The result was fantastic. The material science experts knew what to deliver just after receiving the request and I didn’t have to worry since then.
Kate Green Student
Being a computer science engineer is my dream and it wouldn’t have possible for me to understand the basics of C++ programming without the help of TheReliableTutor and the engineering assignment tutors. I grasped C programming on my own, but for C++ and Java, I am definitely grateful to TheReliableTutor.
Jasmin Rosa Student
The corporate strategy case study which I was handed over by my professor was a bit difficult and I was not certain that I would be able to meet the standards. So I looked online for help and eventually landed here in HwA. I was thrilled to see that the experts here are all well aware of my syllabus and they did a fantastic job in providing an excellent solution.
Kevin McGrouther Student
I really needed some brushing up with my concepts and ideas surrounding array extensions and module facilities. I didn’t know where to find help but luckily I came across HwA who helped me to clear my concepts and become an expert FORTRAN programmer.

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
