We should calculate the target PMT and the proceed to an estimation of how muich are this intangible benefits:
PV 750,000
time 7 years
rate 7% = 7/100 = 0.07
C $ 139,164.915
explicit cost savings: 100,000
<u>intangible benefit to make the investment worthwhile: </u>
139,164.92 - 100,000 = 39,164.92

C $ 100,000
time 7 years
rate 0.07
PV $538,928.9402
investment 750,000
cost savings PV: (538,928.94)
