Question

The Lansing Community College registrar's office is considering replacing some Canon copiers with faster copiers purchased from Kodak. The office's 5 Canon machines are expected to last 5 more years. They can each be sold immediately for $800; their resale value in 5 years will be zero. The total cost of the new Kodak equipment will be $115,000; the equipment will have a life of 5 years and a total disposal value at that time of $1,700. The 5 Canon operators are paid $7.60 an hour each. They work a 40-hour week and 52 weeks a year. The machines break down periodically, resulting in annual repair costs of $1,440 for each machine. Supplies cost $1,440 a year for each Canon copier. The Kodak system will require only 3 regular operators. Kodak has offered the college a maintenance contract that covers all machine breakdowns; the cost of the contract is $1,140 per year. Total cost for all supplies will be $280 per month. Questions: A) What is the annual recurring cash flow if Lansing keeps the Canon copiers? b) What is the annual recurring cash flow if Lansing buys the Kodak copiers? c) Assuming a discount rate of 5%, what is the net present value if Lansing keeps the Canon copiers? d) Assuming a discount rate of 5%, what is the net present value if Lansing buy the Kodak copiers?
