11.1 Why Replace Assets
Reduced Performance:

Wear and tear;

Decreasing reliability and productivity;

Increasing operating and maintenance costs.
Altered Requirements:

New production needs, accuracy, speed, etc.
Obsolescence:

Current assets may be less productive;

Not meet competition.

11.1 Terminology
Defender Asset:

Currently installed asset;
Challenger Asset:


The potential replacement or “challenging”
asset;
Under consideration to replace the defender
asset.
Together, the Defender and Challenger:

Constitute mutually exclusive alternatives;

Select one and reject the other.

11.1 Terminology
Annual Worth Values:


EUAC – since costs tend to dominate
the study (-) cash flows;
Salvage values – if any – are also part
of the analysis (+) value.

11.1 Terminology
Economic Service Life (ESL)


Number of years for an alternative for
which the AW is minimum;
Computing the AW for 1 year; then 2
years; …until a minimum cost time
period is found;

11.1 Terminology
Two investment costs are critical:
1. defender first cost;
2. challenger first cost.
Blank & Tarquin: 5th edition. Ch.11 Authored by Dr. Don Smith, Texas A&M University

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
11.1 Defender first cost
The current market value (MV) is the
correct estimate to use for P for the
defender.
Both trade-in value and book value
are not correct.
Blank & Tarquin: 5th edition. Ch.11 Authored by Dr. Don Smith, Texas A&M University
10
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
11.1 Challenger First Cost
This is the total investment required to
replace the current defender.
Always equal to P.
What if a trade in value is offered for
the defender to apply to the challenger?
At times, a “high” trade-in value may be offered
for the defender by the vendor compared to its
current fair market value.

11.1 Trade-In Issues
If a trade-in is offered, what should be
the proper investment cost in the
challenger?
Let PC = the cash sale price with no trade-in
Let TIV = the trade-in value for the defender
Let MVD = the Fair Market Value of current
defender

11.1 Trade-In Issues
Investment in the challenger
PC – (TIV – MVD)
Cash Price

no trade-in

Trade in value
This represents the true investment in the
challenger to the firm!

11.1 Example
Bought a system 3 years ago for
$120,000 (Defender);
A fair market value of the current
defender is $70,000 right now;
A challenger can be purchased for cash
for $100,000 now!
The vendor selling the challenger offers
a trade-in of $80,000 on the current
defender.

11.1 Trade-In Issues – Example
What should be the proper investment
cost for the challenger to the firm if the
defender is traded?

PC = $100,000

TIV = $80,000

MVD = $70,000


InvestmentChallenger now = $100,000 –
($80,000 - $70,000) = $90,000.
This represents the “true” investment in the
challenger with the trade.

11.1 Assumptions
The traditional approach to
conducting a replacement analysis
is:
The Annual Cost or Annual Worth
approach!

With an assumed interest rate;

Assumed lives for each alternative.

The ESL for a given asset is:


The number of years where the AW
of the future costs is minimum;
Termed “The minimum cost life”


First cost at t = 0;

Est. salvage value at t = “n”;

11.2 Marginal Cost Approach
Marginal Costs are year-by-year
estimates of the costs to:

Own the asset, and

Operate the asset

36
Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.
11.2 Marginal Cost Approach
Three Components of Marginal
Costs:
1. Cost of ownership (loss in Mkt.
Value/yr);
2. Foregone interest of Mkt. Value at
beginning of the year;
3. AOC for each year.

11.2 Marginal Cost Analysis
Compute the marginal costs per year;
Find their equivalent annual worth;
AW of marginal costs = total AW of costs
ESL analysis and Marginal Cost analysis
can draw the same result!

11.2 Setting Up for a Replacement Analysis
Conduct the ESL for the defender and
the challenger(s);
Form the following alternatives:

Challenger Alternative (C): AWC for nC yrs;

Defender Alternative: (D): AWD for nD yrs.

 If AWD>AWC, go with the challenger for
nC years.

11.3 If AWD<AWC, One-Year-Later Analysis
Is the current year nD?


If “YES,” replace the defender with (C);
If “NO,” retain defender for one more year, and
then re-evaluate.
If cost estimates have changed, then:

Update all estimates

Calculate AWC and AWD

Initiate a new replacement study.

11.3 Case Problem: Summary
AWD = -$17,307/year;
nD = 3 years;
AWC = -$19,123/year;
nC = 4 years;
Conclusion:
Stay with the Defender for at least one more
year – lowest AW(10%) cost: -$17,307/yr vs. $19,123/yr.

11.3 Market Value of Defender
What minimum market value of the
defender will make the current
challenger economically attractive?
If a high enough market value (trade-in)
is possible for the defender asset, one
should do so and go with the Challenger
immediately!
Break-even or replacement value (RV)

11.3 Replacement Value (Defender)
Economic Fact:
If the actual market value (trade-in)
exceeds the breakeven replacement value,
then the challenger is the better
alternative.
If this is the case, replace now with the
challenger!

11.4 Three Additional Considerations
1. Future-year replacement decisions;
2. Opportunity-cost vs. cash flow
approaches;
3. Anticipation of improved future
challengers.

11.4 Future Replacement Decisions
1.
Future-year replacement decisions:
 Replace now? One year from now?
Two years from now?
 The procedure just presented does
assist with answering this question
provided:
The cost estimates for (C) and (D) do
not change!

11.4 Future Replacement Decisions
1. Future-year Replacement Decisions:
If cost estimates change for either
(D) or ©, then the analysis should
be initiated again within a
reasonable time frame.
With changing estimates the
decision to replace may be altered!

11.4 Opportunity Cost vs. Cash Flow
The method just presented applies the
opportunity cost approach:
(D)’s investment now is the fair market
value of (D) now;
Represents the opportunity cost foregone
by not disposing of (D) now;
(C)’s investment now is the investment in
(C) now.
This is a correct approach for a
replacement analysis.

11.4 Cash Flow Approach
2. Cash Flow Approach:
Assumes that when the challenger is
selected and a cash inflow for the
defender is received, then:


The investment in the challenger is
immediately reduced.
Works only if the lives of the (C) and (D)
are the same!

11.4 Anticipation of Future Challengers
3. Assumption: At some time in the
future a worthy challenger will appear
and replace the defender.


Always study future trends of challengers;
May be best to augment the defender
until such time that a more worthy
challenger becomes available.

11.5 Specified Study Period
If a fixed study period, then…
Determine the AW for both C and D over
the prescribed study period;
No need to perform an ESL analysis;
Assumption is that the services of C
and D are not needed beyond the study
period.
Use the AW approach.

11.5 Specified Study Period
What happens if the defender’s
remaining life is shorter than the study
period?
Focus on upgrading the defender and obtain
cost estimates in order to extend the
defender out to the study period.
These costs become part of retaining the
defender out to the prescribed study period.
