Problem 24-6B Net present value of alternate investments P3 Archer Foods is considering whether to overhaul an old freezer or replace it with a new freezer. Information about the two alternatives follows. Management requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Alternative 1: Keep the old freezer and have it overhauled. This requires an initial investment of $50,000, resulting in $10,000 of net cash flows in each of the next eight years. After eight years, it can be sold for a $4,000 salvage value. Alternative 2: Sell the old freezer for $5,000 and buy a new one. The new freezer requires an initial investment of $150,000 and can be sold for an $8,000 salvage value in eight years. The new freezer is larger, would increase sales, and would result in net cash flows of $40,000 in each of the next eight years. Required 1. Determine the net present value of alternative 1. 2. Determine the net present value of alternative 2. 3. Which alternative should management select based on net present value
