Huntington Medical Center purchased a used low-field MRI scanner 2 years ago for $445,000. Its operating cost is $400,000 per year and it can be sold for $140,000 anytime in the next 3 years. The Center’s director is considering replacing the presently owned MRI scanner with a state-of-the-art 3 Tesla machine that will cost $2.5 million.The operating cost of the new machine will be $280,000 per year, but it will generate extra revenue that is expected to amount to $700,000 per year. The new unit can probably be sold for $750,000 3 years from now. You have been asked to determine how much the presently owned scanner would have to be worth on the open market for the AW values of the two machines to be the same over a 3-year planning period. The Center’s MARR is 10% per year. The presently owned scanner should be worth $ on the open market.

A client has an existing CAD/CAM system that costs $95,000 per year to lease (payable at the end of each year of use) and a new contract the client is considering entering will fix the price for over the next four years. The client is also considering purchasing a CAD/CAM system to replace its currently leased system (rather than renewing / entering a new lease contract). The new system will cost $450,000 to purchase and install. The system has an estimated life of five years, when it is expected to become obsolete, but it will have a salvage value of $25,000. The interest rate is projected to be 6% per year during the life of the project.
a. Draw a cash flow diagram for the next four years for the existing system (leased system) and a separate cash flow diagram for the system that is being considered for purchase.
b. For each option (leasing and buying), calculate the value of all cash receipts and disbursements at the end of the third year.
c. Compare the value of each option at…
