AW values are used as the primary economic measure of comparisoll between the defender and challenger The term EUAC (equivalent uniform annual cost) may be used in lieu of AW, because often only costs are included in the evaluation; revenues generated by the defender or challenger are assumed to be equal Since the equivalence calculations for EUAC are exactly the same as for AW, we use the term AW Therefore, all values will be negative when only costs are involved Salvage value, of course, 1s an exception; it is a cash inflow and canies a plus sign Economic service life (ESL) for an alternative is the itrtmber of years at which the lowest AW of cost occurs The equivalency calculations to determine ESL establish the life n for the best challenger, and it also establishes the lowest cost life for the defender in a replacement study (The next section of this chapter explains how to find the ESL by hand and by computer for any new or currently installed asset ) Defender first cost is the initial investment amount P used for the defender The current market value (MV) is the correct estimate to use for P for the SECTION 11.1 Basics of the Replacement Study defender in a replacement study The fair market value may be obtaned from professional appraisers, resellers, or hquldators who know the value of used assets The eshmated salvage value at the end of 1year becomes the market value at the beginnlngof the next year, provided the estlmates remaln correct as the years pass It IS Incorrect to use the following as MV for the defender first cost bade-invalue that doesitotrep~esenra fairmarker valzre, or the depreciated book value taken from accounting records If the defender must be upgraded or augmented to make it equivalent to the challenger (In speed, capacity, etc ), this cost is added to the MV to obtan the estimate of defender first cost In the caseof asset augmentatlon for the defender altematlve, thls separate asset and its estlmates are lnclhded along with themstalled asset esbmates to form the complete defender alternative T h ~ alternative IS s then compared w ~ t h challenger via a replacement study the Challengerfirst cost IS the amouht of capital that must be recovered (amortized) when replacing a defender wlth a challenger T h s amount 1s almost always equal to P, the first cost of the challenger On occasion, an unreallsbcally high trade-in value may be offered for the defender compared to ~ t fsa r market value In this event, the rzet cash flow required for the challenger IS reduced, in and thls fact should be cons~dered the analysis The correct amount to recover and use in the economlc analysls for the challengerls its first cost minus the difference between the trade-ln value (TIV) and market valde (MV) of the defender In equahon form, this is P - (TlV - MV) T h ~amount represents s the actual cost to the company because a includes both the opportunity cost (I e , market value of the defender) and the out-of-pocket cost (I e first cost - trade-m) to acquire the challenger Of course, when the trade-in and market values are the same, the challenger Pvalue is usedm all computations The challenger first cost is the est~matedinitial investment necessary to acl quire and install it Sometimes, an analyst or manager w ~ l attempt to irzcrrnse this first cost by an amount equal to the unrecovered capital rema~ning the dein fender as shown on the accounting records for the asset This is observed most s often when the defender is working well and in the early stages of ~ t life, but technological obsolescence, or some other reason, has forced consideration of a replacement This unrecovered caoital amount is referred to as a sunk cost A sunk cost must not be added to the challenger's fist cost, because it will make the challenger appear to be more costly than it is Cdpital loss Sunk costs are capital losses and cannot he recovered in a replacement study Sunk costs are correctly handled in the corporation's income statement and by tax law allowances A replacement study is performed most objectively if the analyst takes the viewpoint of n corzsultant to the company or unit using the defender In this way, is the perspective taken is that neither alternat~ve currently owned, and the services provided by the defender could be purchased now with an "investment" that is equal to its first cost (market value) This is indeed correct because the market value will be a forgone opportunity of cash inflow lf the question Sec 174 CHAPTER 11 Replacement and Rerentlon Dec~s~ons SECTION 11.2 Economic Service Llfe "Replace now?" is answered with a no Therefore, the consultant's viewpoint is a convenient way to allow the economic evaluation to be performed without bias for either alternative This approach 1s also referred to as the outsider's viewpoint As ment~oned the introduction, a replacement study is an application of the in annual worth method As such, the fundamental assumptlons for a replacement study parallel those of an AW analysis If theplanning horizon is unlimited, that is, a study period 1s not specified, the assumptlons are as follows: are The servlces prov~ded needed for the indefinite future The challenger is the best challenger available now and m the future to replace the defender When this challenger replaces the defender (now or later), it wlll be repeated for succeeding life cycles Cost estimates for every life cycle of the challenger will be the same _ As expected, none of these assumptlons 1s precisely correct We discussed this prev~ouslyfor the AW method (and the PW method) When the intent of one or more of the assumpt~ons becomes incorrect, the estimates for the alternatives must be updated and a new replacement study conducted The replacement procedure discussed in Section 11.3 explains how to this When theplanning horizon is lirrzited to a specified study period, the nssziinptions above not hold The procedure of Section 11.5 discusses how to perform the replacement study in this case -

AW of annual operating costs = -CR - AW of AOC [ll.l] The ESL is the n value for the smallest total AW of costs (Remember: These AW values are cost estimates, so the AW values are negative numbers Therefore, $-200 is a lower cost than $-500.) F~gure 11-1 shows the characteristic shape of a total AW of cost curve The CR component of total AW decreases, while the AOC component increases, thus forming the concave shape The two AW components are calculated as follows Decreasing cost of capital recovery The capital recovery is the AW of investment; it decreases with each year of ownership Capital recovery is calculated by Equation [6.3], which is repeated here The salvage value S, CHAPTER 11 B Replacement and Retentton D e c ~ s ~ o n s SECTION 11 Economic Servlce Llfe Figure 11-1 Annual worth curves of cost elements that determine the economic service life Larger i tI i service life ~ : -

When the spreadsheet IS developed, it is recommended that the PMT functions in year be developed using cell-reference format, then drag down the function thiough each column A final column summing the two PMT results displays total AW Augmenting the table with an Excel xy scatter plot graphically displays the cost curves in the general form of F~gure 11-1, and the ESL is easily identified Example 11.2 illustrates ESL determination by hand and by computer 393 CHAPTER 11 Replacement and Retention Decisrons SECTION 11.2 Econom~c Service Life It is reasonable to ask about the difference between the ESL analysis above and the AW analyses performed in prevlous chapters Previously we had an estirnnted life of rz years with associated other estimates: first cost in year 0, possibly a salvage value in year a, and an AOC that remained constant or varied each year For all previous analyses, the calculation of AW uslng these estimates determined the AW over n years T h s is also the economic service life when n is fixed In all previous cases, there were no year-by-year MV estimates applicable over the years Therefore, we call conclude the following: -When the expected life rrisknowrrfor the-challeng~r~r-ddexd-determine its AW over it years, using the first cost or current market value, estimated salvage value after 72 years, and AOC estimates This AW value is the correct one to use in the replacement study It is not difficult to estlmate a serles of marketlsalvage values for a new or current asset For example, an asset with a first cost of P can lose market value at 20% per year, so the market value senes for years 0, 1, 2, is P, 0.8P, 0.64P, , respecttvely (An overview of cost eshmation approaches and techniques is presented In Chapter 15 ) If lt is reasonable to predict the MV series on a year-by-year basis, it can be combmed with the AOC estimates to produce what is called the inargznal costs for the asset Marginal costs (MC) are year-by-year estimates of the costs to own and operate an asset for that year There are three components to each annual marginal cost estimate: Cost of ownership (loss in market value is the best estimate of this cost) Forgone interest on the market value at the beginning of the year AOC for each year 395 Compound Interest Factor Tables Compound Interest Factor Tables Compound Interest Factor Tables Compound Interest Factor Tables ~ompouna interest ractor lames 145 Compound Interest Factor Tables -
