Brooks Clinic is considering investing in newheart-monitoring equipment. It has two options, Option A would have an initial lower cost but would require a significant expenditure for rebuilding after 4 years. Option B would require no rebuliding expenditure, but its maintenance costs would be higher. Since the Option B machine is of initial higher quality, it is expected to have a salvage value at the end of its useful life. The following estimates were made of the cash flows. The company's cost of capital is 5%. Compute the (1) net present value, (2) profitability index, and (3) internal rate of return for each option. (Hint: To solve for internal rate of return, experiment with alternative discount rates to arrive at a net present value of zero.) (If the net present volue Is negathe, use elther a negatlve sign preceding the number eg - 45 or parentheses eg (45). Round answers for present value and IRR to 0 decimal ploces, eg. 125 and round profitability index to 2 decimal ploces, eg. 12.50. For calaulation purposes, use 5 decimal places as dispiayed in the foctor table provided.)
