Answer: 10% or $2,000,000
Explanation:
Seeing as no figures were produced, we will have to do this ourselves.
We will make assumptions which include the following,
Life of the equipment = 10 Years
Salvage value = 0
Those are our 2 assumptions.
In that case then,
The Annual Depreciation will be,
Depreciation = (Cost of equipment - Estimated salvage value) / Estimated useful life
= (20 - 0) / 10
= $2 million
Seeing as 2 million is,
= 2/20 * 100
= 10%
That would mean that annual depreciation costs at that facility will rise by $2 million or 10%.

Answer:
$119,176.06
Explanation:
Calculation for How much would you need to invest in B today
First step is to calculate the Future value of annuity (FVA)
FVA =$2,500 * ({[1 + (.115 / 12)](5 × 12) - 1} / (.115 / 12))
FVA = $201,462.23
Since we have known the FVA Second Step will be to calculate the Present value (PV)
PV = $201,462.23 × e-1 × .105 × 5
PV= $119,176.06
Therefore the amount that you would need to invest in B today will be $119,176.06
