Spiro Hospital is investigating the possibility of investing in new dialysis equipment. Two local manufacturers of this equipment are being considered as sources of the equipment. After-tax cash inflows for the two competing projects are as follows:

Year		Puro Equipment		Briggs Equipment
1		$320,000		$120,000
2		280,000		120,000
3		240,000		320,000
4		160,000		400,000
5		120,000		440,000

Both projects require an initial investment of $560,000. In both cases, assume that the equipment has a life of 5 years with no salvage value.
