AMT, Inc., is considering the purchase of a digital camera for the maintenance of design specifications by feeding digital pictures directly into an engineering workstation where computer-aided design files can be superimposed over the digital pictures. Differences between the two images can be noted, and corrections, as appropriate, can then be made by design engineer. The capital investment requirement is P345,000 and the estimated market value of the system after a six-year study period is P115,000. Annual revenues attributable to the new camera system will be P120,000, whereas additional annual expenses will be P20,000. The corporation's MARR is 20% per year. Show whether this is a desirable investment by using the ERR method.
