A corporate executive jet with a seating capacity of 20 has the following cost factors:
Item Cost
Initial cost $12,000,000
Service life 15 years
Salvage value $2,000,000

The firm’s MARR is 15%.
Consider the following six alternatives. They have 20-year useful lives and no salvage value. If the minimum attractive rate of return is 6%, which alternative should be selected?
