Zoysia University must purchase mowers for its landscape department. The university can buy six EVF mowers that cost $7,600 each and have annual, year-end maintenance costs of $1,725 per mower. The EVF mowers will be replaced at the end of Year 4 and have no value at that time. Alternatively, Zoysia can buy eight AEH mowers to accomplish the same work. The AEH mowers will be replaced after seven years. They each cost $6,600 and have annual, year-end maintenance costs of $1,725 per mower. Each AEH mower will have a resale value of $800 at the end of seven years. The university’s opportunity cost of funds for this type of investment is 9 percent.
