FootballComm LLC is a manufacturer of devices for football coaches and their coaching staffs that enables them to quickly and effectively communicate with one another during a game through a wireless sideline headset system. Currently, the company purchases all of the headsets included in their systems from a China-based supplier, but they have experienced a significant decrease in overall headset quality. To correct the problem, the company is considering producing their own headsets in-house. The company estimates that the transition will take place over 12 months. The system is expected to have an eight-year service life and produce savings and expenditures given in the table below. If the firm's MARR is 15%, use the NPW method to calculate the economic worth of producing the headsets in house. Click the icon to view the table for the savings and expenditures of the system. Click the icon to view the interest factors for discrete compounding when MARR = 15% per year. The economic worth of producing the headsets in house is $ thousand.
