Cash flows from increased sales will be £80,000 in the first year. These cash flows will increase by 5 per cent per year. The firm estimates that the new line will be obsolete 5 years from now. Assume the initial cost is paid now and all revenues are received at the end of each year. If the company requires a 10 per cent return for such an investment, should it undertake the revision?
