Question:
To manufacture a new product, a company must immediately invest $275,000 in new equipment. At the end of Years 3 and 5, there will have to be a major overhaul of the equipment at a cost of $40,000 on each occasion. The new product is expected to increase annual operating profits by $75,000 in each of the first four years, and by $55,000 in each of the subsequent three years. The equipment will then be salvaged at the end of Year 7 to recover about $30,000. Should the product be manufactured if the company’s cost of capital is 14% compounded annually?
