Western Refining purchased a model MTVS peri­staltic pump for injecting antiscalant at its nanofil­tration water conditioning plant. The cost of the pump was $1200. If the chemical cost is $11 per day, determine the equivalent cost per month (pump plus chemicals) at an interest rate of 1% per month. Assume 30 days per month and a 4-year pump life.

What will be an ideal response?


Chemical cost/month = 11(30) = $330
A = 1200(A/P,1%,48) + 330
= 1200(0.02633) + 330
= $361.60 per month
