Exercise 14-4(Algo) Uncertain Future Cash Flows [LO14-4]
Lukow Products is investigating the purchase of a piece of automated equipment that will save $110,000 each year in direct labor and
inventory carrying costs. This equipment costs $820,000 and is expected to have a 7-year useful life with no salvage value. The
company's required rate of return is 7% on all equipment purchases. Management anticipates that this equipment will provide
intangible benefits such as greater flexibility and higher-quality output that will result in additional future cash inflows.
