Lichty Car Wash has some equipment that needs to be rebuilt or replaced. The following information has been gathered concerning this decision: Present Equipment New Equipment Purchase cost new $69,500 $63,000 Remaining book value $21,800 Cost to rebuild now $21,800 Major maintenance at the end of 3 years $5,900 $3,900 Annual cash operating costs $13,500 $9,700 Salvage value in 4 years $3,800 $11,400 Salvage value now $15,200 Lichty uses the total-cost approach and a discount rate of 11% in making capital budgeting decisions. Regardless of which option is chosen, rebuild or replace, at the end of four years Mr. Lichty plans to close the car wash and retire. If the new equipment is purchased, the present value of the annual cash operating costs associated with this alternative is: (Round your 'PV factors' to three decimal places.
