Beryl's Iced Tea currently renm a bottling machine for $52 000 per year, including all maintenance expenses. It is considering purchasing a machine instead and is comparing two options: a. Purchase the machine it is currently renting for $150 000. This machine will require $24 000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses. b. Purchase a new. more advanced machine for $250 000. This machine will require $17 000 per year in ongoing maintenance expenses and will lower bottling costs by $10 000 per year. Also. $37 000 will be spent up front training the new operators of the machine. Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 8% per year and the machine is purchased today. Maintenance and bottling costs are paid at the end of each year, as is the rental of the machine. Assume also that the machines will be depreciated via the straight-line method over seven years and that they have a ten-year life with a negligible salvage value. The marginal corporate tax rate is 40%. Should Beryl's Iced Tea continue to rent, purchase its current machine, or purchase the advanced machine? To make this decision, calculate the NPV of the FCF associated with each alternative. The NPV of renting the current machine is $ - 209 355'. (Round to the nearest dollar.) The NPV of purchasing the current machine is $ -201 996'. (Round to the nearest dollar.) The NPV of purchasing the advanced machine is $ - 226 004'. (Round to the nearest dollar.) Which of the following is the best choice? (Select the best choice below.) A. Rent the current machine. * 8. Purchase the current machine. C. Purchase the advanced machine
