For Independent IRR Projects answer the following question The High Society Baked Bean Co. is considering a new canner. The canner costs $120 000 and will have a scrap value of $5000 after its 10-year life. Given the expected increases in sales, the total savings due to the new canner, compared with continuing with the current operation, will be $15 000 the first year, increasing by $5000 each year thereafter. Total extra costs due to the more complex equipment will be $10 000 per year. The MARR for High Society is 12 percent. Should it invest in the new canner? Note: There are several ways student can do this. In this problem, equating annual outflows and receipts appears to be the easiest approach, because most of the cash flows are already stated on a yearly basis. 5000(A/F,*,10) + 15 000 + 5000(AIG,1*,10) - 120 000(A/P, 1", 10) - 10 000 = 0 The figure below shows high society baked bean canner to help the student to achieve the best $60 000 Gradient of $5000 per year $15 000 0 8 9 10 $10 000 -$120 000
