$$\text { Reference: } 10 - 08$$ Westland College Has a Telephone System That Is in Poor

$$\text { Reference: } 10 - 08$$ Westland College has a telephone system that is in poor condition. The system either can be overhauled or replaced with a new system. The following data have been gathered concerning these two alternatives: $$\begin{array} { | l | l | c | } \hline & \begin{array} { l } \text { Present } \\\text { System }\end{array} & \begin{array} { l } \text { Proposed New } \\\text { System }\end{array} \\\hline \text { Purchase cost new } & \$ 250,000 & \$ 300,000 \\\hline \text { Accumulated depreciation } & \$ 240,000 & - \\\hline \text { Overhaul costs needed now } & \$ 230,000 & - \\\hline \text { Annual cash operating costs } & \$ 180,000 & \$ 170,000 \\\hline \text { Salvage value now } & \$ 160,000 & - \\\hline \text { Salvage value at the end of 8 years } & \$ 152,000 & \$ 165,000 \\\hline \text { Working capital required } & - & \$ 200,000 \\\hline\end{array}$$ Westland College uses a 10% discount rate and the total cost approach to capital budgeting analysis. Both alternatives are expected to have a useful life of eight years. The working capital required will be released in full at the end of the 8 years to be available for other purposes.
