Peyton Manufacturing is trying to decide between two
different conveyor belt systems. System A costs $280,000, has a
four-year life, and requires $85,000 in pretax annual operating
costs. System B costs $396,000, has a six-year life, and requires
$79,000 in pretax annual operating costs. Both systems are to be
depreciated straight-line to zero over their lives and will have
zero salvage value. Whichever system is chosen, it will not be
replaced when it wears out. The tax rate is 25 percent and the
discount rate is 9 percent.
