Answer:
A furniture manufacturing company aims to upgrade its paint and drying section. A technical consultant suggests two investment options. The first involves purchasing Alpha brand painting and drying equipment for $8,700,000, incurring an annual maintenance fee of $2,200,000 and having a salvage value of $2,400,000 after six years. The second option is to acquire Beta brand equipment at a purchase cost of $6,800,000, with maintenance expenses starting at $900,000 in the first year and increasing by $350,000 each subsequent year. This equipment has a nine-year lifespan, with a salvage worth of $1,500,000 at the end. The minimum attractive rate of return (TMAR) is 8% per year. To make the most economical choice, considering both options yield similar productivity and income, which option should be chosen?

Response:
With a monthly expense of $20,000, Ricardo can make 25 trips via metro and 16 trips by bus. If he undertakes 21 trips weekly, that amount is insufficient to cover bus fares.
Overview:
The problem can be resolved by dividing the weekly expense of $20,000 by the cost of the two forms of transportation: $800 (metro) and $1200 (bus). Knowing he makes 21 trips, the result must meet or exceed that to confirm that Ricardo can accommodate his weekly travel needs. In this instance, he can fulfill the requirement using the metro (with spare funds remaining), but not with the bus (he will be short on funds).
