An airline is considering two types of engine systems for


"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 160kL per 1000 hours of operation at the average load encountered in passenger service. System B costs $200,000 and uses 128kL per 1000 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 $1/L 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 2000 hours of operation per year and a MARR of 10%. Use the annual equivalent criterion."
