(b) which option should be accepted

Carla Vista Clinic is considering investing in new heart-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 rebuilding 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 6%. 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 value is negatlve, use either a negative sign preceding the number eg 45 or parentheses eg (45). Round answers for present value and IRR to 0 decimal places, eg. 125 and round profitability index to 2 decimal places, eg. 12.50. For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided
