Brooks Clinic is considering investing in new heart-monitoring equipment. It has two options. Option A would have an initial lower cost but would require a significant expenditure for rebuilding after 4 years. Option B would require no rebuilding expenditure, but its maintenance costs would be higher.

Annual cash inflows $71,000 $80,000
Annual cash outflows $30,000 $31,000
Cost to rebuild (end of year 4) $50,000 $0
Salvage value $0 $8,000
Estimated useful life 7 years 7 years
Instructions
