A computer you are considering for your business would add $4,000 per year to your profit. It would cost $400 a year to buy a complete maintenance contract so that you would never have repair and upkeep expense. The obsolescence depreciation is 25% a year. The going market interest rate is 5%. Assume all costs and revenue occur at the end of the year. If the going interest rate went up to 10%, how much would you be willing to pay for the machine?
What will be an ideal response?
The present value of the four-year income stream now is $12,679.46 and the present value of the maintenance cost is $1,267.93 so you will pay $11,411.53.
