Problem 1 Capitol Health, Inc., is expanding its imaging department and needs to acquire a new computed tomography scanner (CT scanner). The CFO is trying to select the best option from among four alternatives. Capital Health's cost of capital (CCC) is 16%. The initial cost and future cash flows of the alternatives are presented below. Each of these scanners is expected to last for 10 years with a final residual value of $0 at the end of the 10th year of service. The first row of the table (for year 0) shows the price (cash outflow) of each scanner. The projects' expected net cash inflows (rows 1 10) are also presented in the table.
