Question

Bottoms Up Diaper Service is considering the purchase of a new industrial washer. It can purchase the washer for $6,600 and sell its old washer for $2,300. The new washer will last for 6 years and save $1,800 a year in expenses. The opportunity cost of capital is 19%, and the firm’s tax rate is 21%.
