1. (10 points) A company currently owns printing equipment that is deteriorating faster than expected. The equipment was purchased 2 years ago for $60,000. The company currently plans to keep the equipment for 10 more years. Fair market value for the 2-year-old printer is $42,000 and is estimated at $8,000 when the printer is 12-years old. Operating and maintenance costs are (and are expected to be in the future) $12,000 per year. The replacement option is to lease on a yearly basis. The annual lease cost is $9,000 with annual operating costs of $14,000. Should the company lease the equipment if the MARR-10%? Use a 10-year planning horizon and the annual worth measure of merit. Implement a before-tax cash flow analysis. Set up the cash flow from the outsider viewpoint. Cash Flow (Defender) EOY 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Cash Flow (Challenger) 1.
