A company that manufactures clear PVC pipes is investigating the production options of batch and continuous processing.

The continuous flow process was previously determined to haveIts lowest cost over a 5-year life cycle, but the batch process can be used from 3 to 10 years. If selecting the batch process is sensitiveto its useful life, what is the minimum life that makes It more attractive?The batch system will be less expensive than the continuous flow if it lasts overyears.

We are going to find the present worth for both the options to answer this question.
