Option "A" requires an immediate cost of $25,000 along with "upgrade costs" of $4,000 in year 3 and $7,500 in year 6. The returns from these investments begin in year 2 and are estimated to be $2,000 per year for 3 years, $4,000 per year for the next 3 years, and then $7,000 in years 8 and 9, respectively. The only return in year 10 is a residual value of $6,000.
