Accounting

X Company is thinking about expanding the production of Product X and eliminating Product Y. Expanding sales of X should result in additional firm profits of $10,000 per year for the next 8 years, but will require the purchase of some additional equipment, costing $17,000. This equipment should be worth $4,000 at the end of 8 years. By eliminating Product Y, the firm will lose the product's $6,000 annual contribution margin but will save $13,000 of annual fixed costs. Assuming a discount rate of 4%, what is the net present value of expanding the production of Product X and eliminating Product Y
