Galvanized Products is considering purchasing a new computer system for their enterprise data management system. The vendor has quoted a purchase price of $100,000. Galvanized Products is planning to borrow one-fourth of the purchase price from a bank at 16 percent compounded annually. The loan is to be repaid using equal annual payments over a 3-year period. The computer system is expected to last 5 years and has a salvage value of $3,000 at that time. Over the 5-year period, Galvanized Products expects to pay a technician $20,000 per year to maintain the system but will save $50,000 per year through increased efficiencies. Galvanized Products uses a MARR of 14 percent/year to evaluate investments. What is the ERR (external rate of return) of this investment? A) 13.24% B) 12.62% 14.57% 16.52%

Littrell's Nursery needs a new irrigation system. System one will cost $145,000, have annual maintenance costs of $10,000, and need an overhaul at the end of year six costing $30,000. System two will have first year maintenance costs of $5,000 with increases of $500 each year thereafter. System two would not require an overhaul. Both systems will have no salvage value after 12 years. If Littrell's cost of capital is 4%, using annual worth analysis determine the maximum Littrell's should be willing to pay for system two.
