Online resources: Peregrine, a manufacturer of custom retail displays, had seen its production line slow to a halt when one of the company's two CNC machines had broken down. Brian French, the company's president, was determined to relieve the bottleneck. French believed he had three viable options: buy a new CNC machine, lease a new CNC machine, or run an extra shift to keep his current machines working for more hours. This introductory case is based on a real-world capital budgeting decision. It requires students to use net present value (NPV) calculations and consider all three options both qualitatively and quantitatively to make recommendations for French.
