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 6 years, but will require the purchase of some additional equipment, costing $11,000. This equipment should be worth $3,300 at the end of 6 years.

By eliminating Product Y, the firm will lose the product's $5,000 annual contribution margin but will save $13,000 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: $86,538 B: $115,095 C: $153,077 D: $203,592 E: $270,777 F: $360,134
