You have been asked to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new clinical laboratory tesgt system. The system's price is $50,000, and it will cost another $10,000 for transportation and installation. The system is expected to be sold after three years because the laboratory is being moved at that time. The best estimate of the system's salvage value after three years of use is $20,000. The system will have no impact on volume or reimbursement (and hence revenues), but it is expected to save $20,000 per year in operating costs. The non-for- profit business's corporate cost of capital is 10 percent, and the standard risk adjustment is 4 percentage points. D) If the project has average risk, is it expected to be profitable.? E) What if the project is judged to have lower-than-average risk? Higher-than- average risk? I know the answer to a, b c not sure of the last two.
