Determine which cold storage unit they should buy


Drago Distribution handles the warehousing of perishable foods and is considering replacing one of its primary cold storage units. One supplier has offered a unit for $250,000 with an expected life of 10 years. The unit is projected to reduce electricity costs by $50,000 per year. However, it requires a $20,000 refurbishing every 2 years, beginning 2 years after the purchase. Another supplier has offered similar capabilities for $300,000 and it will produce same savings and results but requires refurbishing every 5 years at a cost of $40,000. Their cost of capital is 8.5 %. Use NPV to determine which cold storage unit they should buy?
