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 $12,000 per year for the next 5 years, but will require the purchase of some additional equipment, costing $20,000. This equipment should be worth $3,200 at the end of 5 years.

By eliminating Product Y, the firm will lose the product's $6,000 annual contribution margin but will save $10,000 of annual fixed costs.

Assuming a discount rate of 7%, what is the net present value of expanding the production of Product X and eliminating Product Y?

A: $42,373 B: $47,882 C: $54,106 D: $61,140 E: $69,088 F: $78,070
