Problem 12-3A (Part Level Submission)

Brooks 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 company’s cost of capital is 5%.
Option A Option B Initial cost $170,000 $293,000 Annual cash inflows $70,200 $83,000 Annual cash outflows $30,700 $25,600 Cost to rebuild (end of year 4) $49,000 $0 Salvage value $0 $7,800 Estimated useful life 7 years 7 years
