Question #72502
A firm is considering employing one of the two machines A and B over a period of 4 years at the end of which the salvage value of each is zero. The cost of machine A is $10, 000 while that of machine B is$11, 000. The probability distributions of the returns for each machine are given in the table below.
PROBABILTY MACHINE A($) MACHINE B($)
0.25 6000 7000
0.50 5000 5000
0.25 4000 3000
The risk free discount rate is 10% while the risk premium applied as follows.
STANDARD DEVIATION($) RISK PREMIUM 0 – 999 0% 1000 – 1999 10% 2000 – 2999 10% 3000 – 3999 20% Which of the two machines should be installed? Expert's answer Machine A($) = (0.25 * 6000 + 0.5 * 5000+ 0.25 * 4000)/1.1^4 = 3415.07
Machine B(\$) = (0.25 * 7000 + 0.5 * 5000 + 0.25 * 3000)/1.1^4 = 3415.07
We get same results for both Machines, that`s why we can be installed or first Machine A, or Machine B.
