#4822
An airline is considering two types of engine systems for use in its planes. Each has the same
life and the same maintenance and repair record.• System A costs $ 100,000 and uses 40,000
gallons per 1,000 hours of operation at the average load encountered in passenger service.•
System B costs $200,000 and uses 32,000 gallons per 1,000 hours of operation at the same
level.Both engine systems have three-year lives before any major overhaul is required. On the
basis of the initial investment, the systems have 10% salvage values. If jet fuel currently costs
$2.10 a gallon and fuel consumption is expected to increase at the rate of 6% per year because
of degrading engine efficiency, which engine system should the firm install? Assume 2,000
hours of operation per year and an MARR of 10%. Use the AE criterion. What is the equivalent
operating cost per hour for each engine?View Solution:
