Scenario: The production department is intending on acquiring a more energy-efficient
machine. The production manager has asked for your help with evaluating two alternative
machine models.
Model 1: Requires initial investment of $80,000. The expected cash inflow for the
first year is $26,000 and this is expected to grow at 2% per annum.
Model 2: Requires initial investment of $120,000. The expected cash inflow for the
first year is $38,000 and this is expected to grow at 2.5% per annum.
The expected useful life of both machines are six years. The business requires a rate of return
of 10%.
