Q.5. Following table shows the EOY cash flows for two mutually exclusive alternatives (one must be chosen). The alternatives represent all-in-one (AIO) printers for office use applications. AIO Printer A AIO Printer B Capital investment, $ 6,000 10,000 Annual operating expenses, $ 1,500 1,200 Market value, $ 1,000 1,500 Useful life, years 5 7 The MARR is 15% per year. Determine (using FW method) which alternative should be selected if the analysis period is 7 years, the repeatability assumption does not apply, and a printer can be leased for $3,600 per year after the useful life of either printer is over.

Expert Solution

Analysis Period is 7 Years
	Printer A	Printer B
Investment	6,000.00	10,000.00
Opearating Expense	1,500.00	1,200.00
Salvage Value	1,000.00	1,500.00
Useful Life	5.00	7.00
MARR	15.00%	15.00%

FW	=-6000(2.011357)-1500(6.7424)-1000	=-10000(2.66002)-1200(11.0068)-1500
	-23,182	-41308.36
Lease for 2 Years	=3600*4.973081	0
	17,903
FW	-5,279

Printer A should be selected, since negative FW is less in Printer A
