Consider two mutually exclusive alternative. Construction a choice table using PW for interest rate from 0% to 20%. If the minimum attractive rate of return is 8%, which alternative should be selected?

 

Alternative

A

B

Fist cost

$2,000

$3,000

Uniform annual benefit

$450

$600

Salvage Value

$200

700

Useful life

6 years

6 years

 

Hint:   

Equation:        PW_A = 450(P/A, i, 6) + 200(P/F, i, 6) – 2000

PW_B = 600(P/A, i, 6) + 700(P/F, i, 6) – 3000

or Spreadsheet:

PW_A = -PV(i, nper, pmt, fv) – 2000 = -PV(i, 6, 450, 200) - 2000

PW_B = -PV(i, nper, pmt, fv) – 3000 = -PV(i, 6, 600, 700) - 3000
