ANNUAL WORTH ANALYSIS – THEN AND NOW
1. Spreadsheet and graph are below. Revised costs and savings are in columns F-H.
Maintenance costs increase; repair savings decrease.
2. In cell G18, the new AW = $17,904. This is only slightly larger than the PowrUp
AW = $17,558. Lloyd’s would have been selected, but only by a small margin.
3. New CR is $7173 per year (cell E17), an increase from $7025 previously determined when
the salvage estimate was $3000 after 10 years.
