Pittsburgh Custom Products (PCP) purchased a new machine for ram cambering large I beams. PCP expects to bend 80 beams at $2000 per beam in each of the first 3 years, after which it expects to bend 100 beams per year at $2500 per beam through year 8. If the company’s minimum attractive rate of return is 18% per year, what is the present worth of the expected revenue?

What will be an ideal response?


P = 80(2000)(P/A,18%,3) + 100(2500)(P/A,18%,5)(P/F,18%,3)
= 160,000(2.1743) + 250,000(3.1272)(0.6086)
= $823,691
