A piece of new equipment has been proposed by engineers to increase the productivity of a certain manual welding operation. The investment cost is $25,000, and the equipment will have a market (salvage) value of $5,000 at the end of its expected life of five years. Increased productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $8,000 per year after extra operating costs have been subtracted from the value of the additional production. Suppose that E-MARR= 20% per year. Wha is the project's ERR, and is the project acceptable? Create a Cashflow diagram.
