Scarlett is considering the purchase of a new Wolf gas range by Sub-Zero Group, Inc. to increase the quality of the food served in her restaurant. It will also enhance the cooking experience for her and her chefs, as they won't have to fuss with the finicky electric burners they currently use. However, the new range is expensive. It will cost $9,920 to buy and properly install. On the upside, it should last for at least 7 years, at which time Scarlett may consider trading it in for another new range. While her operating costs will not decrease as a result of this purchase, Scarlett will be able to generate additional gross margin of at least $1,510 in the first year. After that, she expects the additional gross margin to grow by 10% each year for the next 4 years, at which point it will become stable for the remainder of the 7- year life. She believes the new range will be worth $1,010 at the end of this 7-year period. Her current range can be salvaged today for $250. Click here to…

You just bought a new luxury sports car for $125,000. Before you had time to get insurance, the car was wrecked. Weird Wally offers to take it off your hands for $10,000. You can then purchase a similar model for $128,000. A body-shop (with an excellent reputation) offers to rebuild the wrecked car for $90,000 and loan you a similar model while the vehicle is being rebuilt. Once rebuilt, the body-shop claims, it will "run like a new car and nobody will be able to tell the difference." What is the preferred course of action, from a financial point of view?
