You are in the market for a new refrigerator for your company's lounge, and you have narrowed the search down to two models. The energy-efficient model sells for $1700 and will save you $45 at the end of each of the next five years. The standard model has features similar to the energy-efficient model but provides no future electricity savings. It is priced at only $1500. Assuming your opportunity cost of funds is 6%, which refrigerator should you purchase?

    Refrigerator (2)

    Explanation:

    Particular Refrigerator (1) Refrigerator (2)

    Cost $1,700 $1500

    Less: Saving $225 $0

    $1475 $1500

    Less: Opportunity Cost $0 $60

    Total Investment $1,475 $1,440

    Calculation of Saving = 45 x 5 = 225

    Calculation of Opportunity cost = [ (1700-1500) 6%] x 5 = 60

    Total Investment of Refrigerator (2) is lesser than Refrigerator (1)

    So, we should Purchase Refrigerator (2).
