Essay

LD Winery expects a demand of 10 000 bottles per year for a special purpose wine for six years. Net return per unit is $6.10. To produce the wine, LD must buy equipment costing $200 000 with a life of six years and a salvage value of $10 000 after six years. The company estimates that repair costs will be $8000 per year during Years 2 to 6. Should LD invest in the equipment if it requires a return of 16% on its investment?
