The Alpha alternative has a life of 3 years, an initial cost of $11,000, an expected annual income of $7,000, and a salvage value after 3 years of $2,000. The Beta alternative has a life of 5 years and is expected to have an annual income of $7,000, but the initial cost will be $17,000, with a salvage value of $3,000.
