Goltra clinic is considering investing in new


Goltra Clinic is considering investing in new heart-monitoring equipment. It has two options: Option A would have an initial lower cost but would require a significant expenditure for rebuilding after 4 years. Option B would require no rebuilding expenditure, but its maintenance costs would be higher. Since the Option B machine is of initial higher quality, it is expected to have a salvage value at the end of its useful life. The following estimates were made of the cash flows. The company’s cost of capital is 7%. Option A Option B Initial cost $177,000 $244,000 Annual cash inflows $72,600 $80,200 Annual cash outflows $30,200 $25,900 Cost to rebuild (end of year 4) $51,800 $0 Salvage value $0 $8,400 Estimated useful life 7 years 7 years a. Compute the (1) net present value, (2) profitability index, and (3) internal rate of return for each option. (Hint: To solve for internal rate of return, experiment with alternative discount rates to arrive at a net present value of zero.) (If the net present value is negative, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg -45 or parentheses eg (45). Round answers for present value to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. Round profitability index to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50. Round answers for IRR to 0 decimal places, e.g. 12. Round Discount Factor to 5 decimal places.)
