This problem is based on the following cash flows for alternatives X and Y at an interest rate of 10% per year.



The capitalized cost of machine Y is closest to:

(a) $17,726

(b) $86,590

(c) $177,260

(d) $207,720


First find AW over n = 6 years and then divide by i
AWY = -220,000(A/P,10%,6) + 65,000 + 25,000(A/F,10%,6)
= -220,000(0.22961) + 65,000 + 25,000(0.12961)
= $17,726

CCY = 17,726/0.10
= $177,260
Answer is (c) $177,260
