Title: Figgey, a plastics processor, is considering the purchase of a Post by: bernie2981 on Nov 16, 2015 (Present value tables are required.) Figgey, a plastics processor, is considering the purchase of a high-speed extruder as one option. The new extruder would cost $52,000 and would have a residual value of $5,000 at the end of its 8-year life. The annual operating expenses of the new extruder would be $8,000. The other option that Figgey has is to rebuild its existing extruder. The rebuilding would require an investment of $30,000 and would extend the life of the existing extruder by 8 years. The existing extruder has annual operating costs of $11,000 per year and does not have a residual value. Figgey discount rate is 14%. Using net present value analysis, which option is the better option and by how much?
A) Better by $6,328 to rebuild existing extruder B) Better by $8,083 to purchase new extruder C) Better by $6,328 to purchase new extruder D) Better by $8,083 to rebuild existing extruder Title: Re: Figgey, a plastics processor, is considering the purchase of a Post by: nuclei on Nov 16, 2015 Content hidden
