With R3 000000 available funds to invest, it is investigating two options: Option 1 is to acquire an exclusive contract to operate vending machines in municipal offices in a city for four years. The contract requires the firm to pay the city R2 000000 cash at the beginning. A once off payment of R300 000 is also required at the beginning for transportation and installation. The firm expects cash revenues from the operation to be R1 800000 per year and cash expenses to be R1 000000 per year. Option 2 is to operate a printing shop in a busy shopping mall. This option would require the company to spend R2700 000 for printing equipment that has an estimated useful life of four years, with a R400 000 salvage value. The cash revenues are expected to be R2 600000 per year and cash expenses are expected to be R1 700000 per year.
