sergey [27]

Answer: He should decline production of the machine.

Explanation:

Analyzing the problem, we can determine if he should proceed or not by calculating the Net present value. That is present value of the machine in terms of perpetuity as it will be used forever and the cost incurred in its production.

Given the following ;

To manufacture $200 = 1 year, meaning

Amount or yearly payment = $200

Cost of machine = $2,000

Interest rate(r) = 11.5% = 0.115

Recall;

Present the value if perpetuity ;

(Payment per period ÷ rate)

= $200 ÷ 0.115 = $1739.13

Net present value = $1,739.13 - $2000 = - 260.87

Given the negative value of NPV, the cost outweighs the benefit, hence, he should decline.
