Your company is considering purchasing a new CNC machining center. The net benefits in the first year will be $50,000, increasing at a rate of $4,000 per year for the subsequent nine years (so the benefits are $50,000, $54,000, $58,000, etc.). You think the company can get a salvage value of $18,000 at the end of its 10-year useful life. If the MARR is 8%, how much can the company justify spending on the CNC machining center? Solve by present worth analysis.
