Since the profitable life of a retail store is short, use a shorter 6-year planning horizon for each alternative and assume that the salvage values are the same in year 6 as at the end of their lives. Use present worth analysis to determine which spaces if any to purchase, assuming MARR is 20%. Strip mall Enclosed mall Initial renovation cost $1,500,000 $2,000,000 Annual revenues $400,000 $500,000 Annual maint. cost $120,000 $100,000 Salvage value $300,000 $1,400,000 Life, years 25 35 A.
