Question

EDIT: This is the question word-for-word, no Tax rate was provided.
A seafood company is planning an expansion to a cold storage facility. Three alternative site-design proposals are being considered that use a MARR of 10-percent. Plans A and B require an expenditure of $350,000 for land which will retain its value in 10 years, while plan C requires $425,000 for land which will also retain its value in 10 years. The estimated income increase due to facility availability is annualized at $248,000 per year. The company requires that a life of 10 years be used for the analysis. Data, all in dollars, associated with the project are as follows:
