The two alternatives, denoted A and B below, will perform the same task, but alternative A will cost $85,000 to purchase, while alternative B will cost only $50,000. Moreover, the two alternatives will have very different cash flows and useful lives. The after-tax costs for the two projects are as follows. a. Calculate each project's EAC, given a discount rate of 8 percent b. Which of the alternatives do you think Barry should select? Why? a. Alternative A's EAC at a discount rate of 8% is $1(Round to the nearest cent.) Alternative B's EAC at a discount rate of 8% is $ (Round to the nearest cent) b. Which of the alternatives do you think Barry should select? Why? (Select the best choice below.) O A. Alternative B should be selected because it has the highest NPV O B. Alternative A should be selected because its equivalent annual cost is less per year than the annual equivalent cost for Alternative B. OC. This cannot be determined from the information provided.
