Compute this project's NPV using LaChut Industries' 16% hurdle rate. Should the company invest in the equipment? Why or why not? 2. LaChut Industries could refurbish the equipment at the end of six years for $105,000. The refurbished equipment could be used one more year, providing $75,000 of net cash inflows in Year 7. In addition, the refurbished equipment would have a $50,000 residual value at the end of Year 7. Should LaChut 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.)
