The system is expected to last 8 years and has no salvage value. Which of the following situations supports the installation of the recycling system? Assume the present value factor for an annuity of $1 at 10% for 8 periods is 5.3349 and the present value factor for $1 at 10% for 8 periods is 0.4665. The total cash flow savings expected from the recycling system is $700,000. The annual maintenance cost for the system is $40,000. The annual maintenance cost for the system is equal to the cost of the existing water system. The recycling system will yield a savings of $78,000 per year.
