Concrete incorporated owns a concrete block factory and is considering adding a new production line which costs $200,000 (including the installation costs) and has a useful life of 15 years, the line has a salvage value of $40,000. Concrete incorporated estimates that this expansion would lead to an increase in revenues of $44,000 starting at the end of first year and decreasing at rate of 2% per year due to decrease in the machine's productive capacity while the O & M would cost $10,000 per year increasing at rate of 5% per year. Assume that the production line would be installed and functional on the purchase day and the company's MARR is 12%, should the company undertake this expansion? And why?
