Sheffield Clinic is considering investing in new heart-monitoring equipment. It has two options. Option A would have an initial lower cost but would require a significant expenditure for rebuilding after 4 years. Option B would require no rebuilding expenditure, but its maintenance costs would be higher. Since the Option B machine is of initial higher quality, it is expected to have a salvage value at the end of its useful life. The following estimates were made of the cash flows. The companys cost of capital is 5%. Option A Option B Initial cost $193,000 $285,000 Annual cash inflows $72,900 $82,500 Annual cash outflows $28,700 $26,700 Cost to rebuild (end of year 4) $50,700 $0 Salvage value $0 $7,700 Estimated useful life 7 years 7 years
