JBL Co. has designed a new conveyor system. Management must choose among three alternative courses of? action: (1) The firm can sell the design outright to another corporation with payment over 2 years. ? (2) It can license the design to another manufacturer for a period of 5 years, its likely product life. (3) It can manufacture and market the system? itself; this alternative will result in 6 years of cash inflows. The company has a cost of capital of 12.1%. Cash flows associated with each alternative are as shown in the following table.
