The existing robotics would produce benefits of $ 378,00 (also in? today's dollars) over that same time period. An initial cash investment of $ 230,800 would be required to install the new equipment. The manager estimates that the existing robotics can be sold for $ 71,000.
Show how Ken will apply marginal? cost-benefit analysis techniques to determine the? following:
A) The marginal? (added) benefits of the proposed new robotics is $ ________ ROUND TO NEAREST DOLLAR
B) The marginal? (added) cost of the proposed new robotics is $ ____________ NEAREST DOLLAR
C) The net benefit of the proposed new robotics is $ _________________ NEAREST DOLLAR
D) What should Ken recommend that the company? do? Why? choose from the following
