A company is considering an investment in a machine. The machine will cost $250,000 and will have a seven year useful economic life. It has a salvage value of $50,000. The expected annual operating costs for the machine would be $30,000 (for each year of the seven years). Assume that the company's desired return on its investment (MARR) is 11%, find the annual equivalent cost (AEC)?
