For simplicity, we assume no change in prices or costs in future years. The investment will be made at the beginning of 2018, and all transactions thereafter occur on the last day of the year. Max Chips' required rate of return is 10%. There is no difference between the modernize and replace alternatives in terms of required working capital. Max Chips has a special waiver on income taxes until 2024. The plant cannot produce more than 552 prototype chips annually. To meet future demand, Max Chips must either modernize the plant or replace it. The old equipment is fully depreciated and can be sold for $4,400,000 if the plant is replaced. If the plant is modernized, the costs to modernize it are to be capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the updated plant. The old equipment is retained as part of the modernize alternative. The following data on the two options are available: Requirement 1.
