The firm and the smog control district have agreed that the following are reasonable estimates of the end-of-year maintenance costs: Year 1 2 3 4 5 $75 100 125 150 175 Year 6 7 8 9 10 $200 225 250 275 300 Assuming interest at 6% per year, how much should the smog control district pay to the firm now to provide for the first cost of the equipment and its maintenance for 10 years?Jean believes the batteries can be expected to last only for the guarantee period.
