Chapter 12, Problem 5P

EQUIVALENT ANNUAL ANNUITY Corcoran Consulting is deciding which of two computer systems to purchase. It can purchase state-of-the-art equipment (System A) for $20,000, which will generate cash flows of $6,000 at the end of each of the next 6 years. Alternatively, the company can spend $12,000 for equipment that can be used for 3 years and will generate cash flows of $6,000 at the end of each year (System B). If the company’s WACC is 10% and both “projects” can be repeated indefinitely, which system should be chosen, and what is its EAA?

(Equivalent annual annuity) Rib & Wings-R-Us is considering the purchase of a new smoker oven for cooking barbecue, ribs, and wings. It is looking at two different ovens. The first is a relatively standard smoker and would cost $52,000, last for 7 years, and produce annual free cash flows of $16,000 per year. The alternative is the deluxe, award- winning Smoke-alator, which costs $78,000 and, because of its patented humidity control, produces the "moistest, tastiest barbecue in the world." The Smoke-alator would last for 15 years and produce free cash flows of $22,000 per year.
