Archer Foods is considering whether to overhaul an old freezer or replace it with a new freezer. Information about the two alternatives follows. Management requires a 10% rate of return on its investments.

Alternative 1: Keep the old freezer and have it overhauled. This requires an initial investment of $50,000, resulting in $10,000 of net cash flows in each of the next eight years. After eight years, it can be sold for a $4,000 salvage value.

Alternative 2: Sell the old freezer for $5,000 and buy a new one. The new freezer requires an initial investment of $150,000 and can be sold for an $8,000 salvage value in eight years. The new freezer is larger, would increase sales, and would result in net cash flows of $40,000 in each of the next eight years.
