Answer:

Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89

Explanation:

Equivalent annual cost = Present Value of cost / Annuity factor

Present value of cost:

PV of additional cost =50,000 ×1.05^(-10)=30,695.66

PV of maintenance cost

First four years= 5,000× (1-1.05^(-4))/0.05=17,729.75

From year 5 to infinity = (8,000/0.05)× 1.05^(-4)=131,632.39

PV of maintenance cost = 17,729.75 + 131,632.396= 149,362.14

PV of costs = 150,000 + 30,695.66 + 149,362.14= 330,057.8112

Annuity factor = 1/r = 1/0.05= 20

Equivalent annual cost = 330,057.8112 /20=$16,502.89

Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89
