A portable concrete test instrument used in construction for evaluating and profiling concrete surfaces (MACRS-GDS 5-year property class) is under consideration by a construction firm for $20,000. The instrument will be used for 6 years and be worth $1,250 at that time. The annual cost of use and maintenance will be $10,000. Alternatively, a more automated instrument (same property class) available from the manufacturer costs $29,000, with use and maintenance costs of only $7,000 and salvage value after 6 years of $3,000. The marginal tax rate is 25%, and MARR is an after-tax 12%. Determine which alternative is less costly, based upon comparison of after-tax annual worth. Show the AW values used to make your decision: Alternative 1: \$ Alternative 2:$ Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to the nearest dollar. The tolerance is \pm 10
