Replacement Model-II
Replacement Model-II
As the money value changes with time, we must calculate the present value or present worth of the money to be spent few years hence.
If it is the interest rate (i may be considered as the rate of inflation or sum of rate of inflation or the interest) per year.
One rupee invested will be (1+ i)1 one year hence.
One rupee invested will be (1+ i)2 two year hence.
One rupee invested will be (1+ i)3 three year hence.
One rupee invested will be (1+ i)n n year hence.
In other words, making payment of one rupee after n years is equivalent to paying (1+i)-n now.
This quantity (1+i)-n is called the present worth or present value of one rupee spent n years from now.
Present value of one rupee spent n years hence: (1+i)-n = vn
Discounted Rate / Discounted Factor / Present Worth (always less than unity) v = 1/(1+i)
In order to find optimal policy of replacement i.e. when a manufacturer should replace a machine on which he is working; let us assume
that the machine is replaced after n years.
Let C be the purchase price of machine
Let R1, R2, R3………………Rn be the running cost in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and nth year respectively.
Assume scrap value of the machine is Zero, and that all payments (cash outflows) are made at the beginning of the first year.
The present worth of the expenditure after n years: Pn = C + v0R1+ v1R2+ v2R3 ------------------ vn-1Rn
Pn is the amount of money required now to pay all future costs of acquiring and operating the machine assuming it is to be replaced after
n years.
Now Pn increases as n increases which mean that the present worth, if the machine is replaced after n+1 year is greater than if it is
replaced after n years. Thus, for any additional amount we get an extra year’s service.
We are therefore, interested in finding some function of replacement interval which allows for this.
In order to do so, a manufacturer invest P n by borrowing money at the interest rate I and replay it off in fixed annual payments of value
x throughout the life of machine. Thus, after n years he will have paid off the total coat Pn of the machine.
The present worth of fixed annual payments, each of value x for n years is: Pn = xv0+xv1+xv2----------xvn-1
Pn = [(1-vn)/(1-v)]*x ___________________ [Geometric Progression Formula]
x = [(1-v)/(1-vn)]*Pn
For fixed annual payment to be minimum, there must be dx/dn = 0
The resultant response can be written as: Fn = (Fn / 1-vn) where Fn is the fixed annual payment value.
Now as per the finite difference method: ∆Fn-1 < 0 < ∆Fn
∆Fn = Fn+1 - Fn
∆Fn = Positive Quantity * [[(1-vn)/(1-v)]*Rn+1] – Pn]
Now as per this equation: ∆Fn-1 < 0 < ∆Fn
Now Case – 1
Now Case – 2
