Calculate the present worth of all costs for a newly acquired machine with an initial cost of $29,000, no trade-in value, a life of 10 years, and an annual operating cost of $13,000 for the first 4 years, increasing by 10% per year thereafter. Use an interest rate of 10% per year.

What will be an ideal response?


P = 29,000 + 13,000(P/A,10%,3) + 13,000[7/(1 + 0.10)](P/F,10%,3)
= 29,000 + 13,000(2.4869) + 82,727(0.7513)
= $123,483
