Accounting

X Company is thinking about expanding the production of Product X and eliminating Product Y.

This equipment should be worth $3,500 at the end of 8 years. By eliminating Product Y, the firm will lose the product's $8,000 annual contribution margin but will save $14,000 of annual fixed costs. Assuming a discount rate of 5%, what is the net present value of expanding the production of Product X and eliminating Product Y?
