Obsolete computer systems inc wants to emerge as a major


Obsolete Computer Systems, Inc. wants to emerge as a major producer of computer software. The company has two options: Either it can purchase Upstart Software for $25m now whose products are expected to survive 5 years. Or it can develop an ongoing new line of software via research and development expected to cost $5m per year with implementation costs of $25m in 4 years. Using reasonable cash flow estimates from each product line, the Obsolete CFO has estimated that the internal rate of return from purchasing Upstart Software is 15% and the IRR of in-house R&D is 14%. As a member of Obsolete’s board of directors, you should vote against the CFO’s recommendation to purchase Upstart Software. (True, False, Uncertain and explain your response)
