(Click the icon to view the present value annuity table.) (Click the icon to view the future value table.) (Click the icon to view the future value annuity table.) Read the requirements. 1. Compute this project's NPV using Fielding Industries' 16% hurdle rate. Should the company invest in the equipment? Why or why not? 2. Fielding Industries could refurbish the equipment at the end of six years for $101,000. The refurbished equipment could be used one more year, providing $74,000 of net cash inflows in Year 7 . In addition, the refurbished equipment would have a $52,000 residual value at the end of Year 7 . Should Fielding Industries invest in the equipment and refurbish it after six years? Why or why not? (Hint. In addition to your answer to Requirement 1, discount the additional cash outflow and inflows back to the present value.)
