Owe Cullumber Clinic is considering investing in new heart-monitoring equipment. It has two options. Option A would have an initial lowercost but would require a significant expenditure for rebuilding after 4 years. Option B would require no rebuilding expenditure, but itsmaintenance costs would be higher. Since the Option B machine is of initial higher quality, it is expected to have a salvage value at theend of its useful life. The following estimates were made of the cash flows.
