Ayayai Industries is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $1,500,000 to replace existing equipment that will be sold for $100,000. The new equipment is expected to have a $180,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year life. During the period of its use, the equipment will allow the company to produce and sell an additional 20,000 units annually at a sales price of $35 per unit. Those units will have a variable cost of $22 per unit. The company will also incur an additional $70,000 in annual fixed costs. (a) Calculate the net present value of the proposed equipment purchase. Assume that Ayayai uses a 10% discount rate.
