Perform a present worth (PW)-based evaluation of the two alternatives below using a spreadsheet. The after-tax minimum acceptable rate of return (MARR) is 8% per year, Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) depreciation applies, and Te = 40%. The (GI-OE) estimate is made for the first 3 years; it is zero in year 4 when each asset is sold.

SITUATION: Two alternatives for a margarita mixer are under consideration. One system, the Mixer-Plus has an initial cost of $6,000. The salvage value after 7 years is expected to be $200. The operating costs including operator wages, routine maintenance, overhauls, etc., is expected to be $2,000 per year. It is expected that this machine will encourage the purchase of an additional 50 drinks per week costing $2.00 apiece to produce and for which $6.00 can be charged. Alternatively, a completely...
