Problem - Using payback, ARR, NPV, and IRR to make capital investment decisions
Davis Consulting is considering purchasing two different types of servers. Server A will generate net cash inflows of $25,000 per year and have a zero residual value. Server A's estimated useful life is three years and it costs $40,000. Server B will generate net cash inflows of $25,000 in year 1, $11,000 in year 2, and $4,000 in year 3. Server B has a $4,000 residual value and an estimated life of three years. Server B also costs $40,000. Davis's required rate of return is 14%.
