Question

In a company’s renovation of a small office building, two feasible alternatives for upgrading the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system have been identified. Either Alternative A or Alternative B must be implemented. The costs are as shown follows (atatched): At the end of eight years, the estimated market value for Alternative A is $2,000
and for Alternative B it is $8,000. Assume that both alternatives will provide
comparable service (comfort) over an eight-year period, and assume that the major component replaced in Alternative B will have no market value at EOY eight. (1) Use a cash-flow table and end-of-year convention to tabulate the net cash flows for both alternatives. (2) Determine the annual net cash-flow difference between the alternatives (B − A).
