Question

Accounting

X Company is thinking about expanding the production of Product A and eliminating Product B. Expanding sales of A should result in additional firm profits of $8,000 per year for the next 5 years, but will require the purchase of some additional equipment, costing $20,000. This equipment should be worth $3,700 at the end of 5 years.

By eliminating Product B, 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 6%, what is the net present value of expanding the production of Product A and eliminating Product B?

A: $23,592 B: $31,377 C: $41,732 D: $55,503 E: $73,820 F: $98,180
