One source can be your textbook.
Please describe the circumstances of the following case study and recommend a course of action. Explain your approach to the problem, perform relevant calculations and analysis, and formulate a recommendation. Ensure your work and recommendation are thoroughly supported.
Case Study:
A manufacturing company is evaluating two options for new equipment to introduce a new product to its suite of goods. The details for each option are provided below:
Option 1

$65,000 for equipment with useful life of 7 years and no salvage value.

Maintenance costs are expected to be $2,700 per year and increase by 3% in Year 6 and remain at that rate.

Materials in Year 1 are estimated to be $15,000 but remain constant at $10,000 per year for the remaining years.

Labor is estimated to start at $70,000 in Year 1, increasing by 3% each year after.

Revenues are estimated to be:
Year 1Year 2Year 3Year 4Year 5Year 6Year 7- 75,000 100,000 125,000 150,000 150,000 150,000

Option 2

$85,000 for equipment with useful life of 7 years and a $13,000 salvage value

Maintenance costs are expected to be $3,500 per year and increase by 3% in Year 6 and remain at that rate.

Materials in Year 1 are estimated to be $20,000 but remain constant at $15,000 per year for the remaining years.

Labor is estimated to start at $60,000 in Year 1, increasing by 3% each year after.

Revenues are estimated to be:

Year 1Year 2Year 3Year 4Year 5Year 6Year 7- 80,000 95,000 130,000 140,000 150,000 160,000
The company’s required rate of return and cost of capital is 8%.
Management has turned to its finance and accounting department to perform analyses and make a recommendation on which option to choose. They have requested that the four main capital budgeting calculations be done: NPV, IRR, Payback Period, and ARR for each option.
For this assignment, compute all required amounts and explain how the computations were performed. Evaluate the results for each option and explain what the results mean. Based on your analysis, recommend which option the company should pursue.
Superior papers will:

Perform all calculations correctly.

Articulate how the calculations were performed, including from where values used in the calculations were obtained.

Evaluate the results computed and explain the meaning of the results, including why certain measurements are more accurate than others.

Recommend which option to pursue, supported by well-thought-out rationale, and considering any other factors that could impact the recommendation.

The water diet requires one to drink two cups of water every half hour from when one gets up until one goes to bed, but otherwise allows one to eat whatever one likes. Four adult volunteers agree to test the diet. They are weighed prior to beginning the diet and after six weeks on the diet. The weights ( in pounds) are Person 1 2 3 4 Weight before diet 180 125 240 150 Weight after diet 170 130 215 152 For the population of all adults, assume that the weights loss after six weeks on the diet ( weight before beginning the diet---weight after six weeks on the diet) is Normally distributed with mean μ. a. Test the hypothesis if the diet leads to weight loss. b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference.

The following information is available for three companies:

Required
a. Determine the annual before-tax interest cost for each company in dollars.

b. Determine the annual after-tax interest cost for each company in dollars. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
