Issues
• Should we replace the current equipment
with the new one?
• Should we retain the current equipment for
another year and then replace it?

The Replacement Problem

• Obsolescence occurs when an asset’s technology


is surpassed by newer and/or different
technologies (PC)
• Depletion is the gradual loss of market value of an
asset as it is being consumed or exhausted (Oil
well, Timber)
• Deterioration is the general loss in value of an
asset due to aging process (Production machinery)

6

The Replacement Problem

• Planned replacements can be scheduled to minimize


the time and cost of disruptions.
• Variations of replacement problems, such as
abandonment, retirement, improvements of defender
or keeping defender as spare, can be considered as
potential new challenger.
• Since replacement problems usually are considered
with “fixed output”, only costs of defender and
challengers are analyzed.
• Due to the lives of the defender and challengers are
usually different, most calculations focus on annual
marginal costs or on EUAC.

Minimum Cost Life of a New Asset

• The minimum cost life of any new asset is the number of


years at which the EUAC of ownership is minimized.
• Because of increasing operating and maintenance
costs, the minimum cost life is often shorter than the
asset’s useful life.
• EUAC for each possible life, less than or equal to the
useful life, is determined. The number of years at
which the EUAC is minimum can then be identified.
• N (period) where the EUAC is minimum is called the
economic life
• Why?

8
Copyright Oxford University Press 2014
Minimum Cost Life of a New Asset

• If assets are kept for only a few years, then


the EUAC is high because capital costs are
spread over only a few years.
• If assets are kept for too long, then the
EUAC is high because maintenance and
operating costs become large.
• The economic life strikes a balance that
minimizes the total EUAC.

Replacement Analysis
Fundamental
• By looking at the replacement analysis map, we see
that the first step is to identify the alternatives.
• Again, in replacement analysis we are interested in
comparing the previously implemented asset (the
defender) against the best current available
challenger.

If the defender proves more economical, it will


be retained. If the challenger proves more
economical, it will be installed.

Defender’s Marginal Cost Data

• Are the Defender marginal cost data available?


• Are the Defender marginal cost increasing?
• The total marginal cost for any year can include:
• Capital Recovery Cost (loss in market value and
loss interest for the year)
• Yearly operating and maintenance costs
• Yearly taxes and insurance
• Any other expenses that occurs during that year
• The marginal cost is calculated as an equivalent end-
of-year cash flow
• Marginal costs, as opposed to an EUAC, are the
year-by-year costs of keeping an asset. Therefore, the
“period” of any yearly marginal cost of ownership is
always 1 year.

Replacement Analysis Technique 1:
Defender Marginal Cost Increasing
• Maintain the Defender as long as the
marginal cost of ownership for one more
year is less than the Challenger’s minimum
EUAC.
• When the Defender’s marginal cost
becomes greater than the Challenger’s
minimum EUAC, then replace the Defender
with the Challenger.

Replacement Repeatability
Assumption
• Currently available best Challenger will
continue to be available in subsequent years
and will be unchanged in its economic costs.
When the Defender is ultimately replaced, it
will be replaced with this Challenger.
• The period of needed services of the asset
is indefinitely long.

22
Copyright Oxford University Press 2014
Replacement Analysis Technique 2:
Defender Marginal Cost Not Increasing
• Calculate the Defender’s minimum EUAC.
• If the Defender’s minimum EUAC exceeds the
Challenger’s minimum EUAC, then replace
immediately.
• If the Defender’s minimum EUAC is lower than the
Challenger’s minimum EUAC, then the Defender
will be kept at least the minimum cost life.
• After the minimum cost life, then replace when the
Defender’s increasing marginal cost exceeds the
Challenger’s minimum EUAC.

Replacement Analysis Technique 3:
Defender Marginal Cost Not Available
• Calculate the Defender’s EUAC over its stated
useful life.
• If the Defender’s EUAC exceeds the Challenger’s

• If the Defender’s EUAC is lower than the
Challenger’s minimum EUAC, then the Defender
will be kept.

Defining First Costs of
Defender and Challenger
• Present market value, not the trade-in value,
should be assigned as the first cost of the
Defender.
• The first cost of the Challenger should include the
purchase price, sales tax, installation cost, and
other items that occur initially on a one-time basis
if the Challenger is selected.
• The Defender’s potential market (or salvage) value
should not be subtracted from the Challenger’s
first cost.

29
Copyright Oxford University Press 2014
Example 13-9
Defining Defender First Cost
Defender: SK-30, purchased 2 years ago for $1600, was
depreciated with SL using 4-year life and 0 salvage.
Challenger: EL-40, $1200 with a trade-in allowance of $350
for the SK-30; $1050 without a trade-in.
Current price for new SK-30 is $995.

Defender: SK-30,
• Original cost: $1600 (Basis for SL depreciation)
• Present cost: $995 (Irrelevant)
• Book value: $800 (Useful in determining depreciation
recapture or loss)
• Trade-in value: $350 (Irrelevant)
• Market value: $200 (First cost assigned to Defender)

Repeatability Assumption
Not Acceptable
Circumstances that Repeatability Assumption may
not apply:
• When there is a specific study period instead of an
indefinite need for the asset
• When future Challengers are not assumed to be
identical to the current best Challenger
