The consulting company Harris White & Jackson (HWJ) is in that never-ending budgeting phase of the year. Realizing that they
couldn't defer a technology update any longer, the managers plan to replace all of the computers in the office. The old computers will
be sold for market value. When the new computers reach the end of their useful lives, they will be sold as well. The cost of the
combined new computers and annual software updates should be more than covered by efficiency gains and increased volume of sales
- at least that's what the managers are expecting. Information related to this investment is as follows.
Cost of new computers
Salvage value of new computers at end of useful life
Life of new computers (years)
Market value of old computers today (equal to book value)
Annual software update cost (necessary for all computers, old or new)
Annual operating cash inflows from efficiency gains and increased sales due to new computers
