A currently owned shredder used in a refuse-powered electrical generating plant has a present net realizable value of $200,000 a
nd is expected to have a market value of $10,000 after 4 years. Operating and maintenance disbursements are $100,000 per year. An equivalent shredder can be leased for $200 per day plus $80 per hour of actual use as determined by an hour meter, with both components assumed to be paid at year-end. Actual use is expected to be 1,500 hours and 250 days per year. Using a 4-year planning horizon, a before-tax analysis, and a MARR of 15%, determine the preferred alternative using the annual cost criterion.

Answer: Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Units Started into the production = 14,000 Units
Ending work in process = 2,000 units
Transferred Units = Units in the starting - Ending work in process
= 14,000 units - 2,000 Units
= 12,000 Units
Equivalent units = Transferred units + Ending work in process in units × % of Completion
= 12,000 Units + 2,000 Units × 25% complete
= 12,000 + 2,000 × 0.25
= 12,000 units + 500 units
= 12,500 units
Total Conversion cost = $52,500
= $4.2
