Maintenance money for an athletic complex has been sought. Mr. Kendall, the Athletic Director, would like to solicit a donation to cover all future expected maintenance costs for the building. These maintenance costs are expected to be $1.2 million each year for the first five years, $1.6 million each year for years 6 through 10, and $1.9 million each year after that. (The building has an indefinite service life.) If the money is placed in an account that will pay 7% interest compounded annually, how large should the gift be?

A client has an existing CAD/CAM system that costs $95,000 per year to lease (payable at the end of each year of use) and a new contract the client is considering entering will fix the price for over the next four years. The client is also considering purchasing a CAD/CAM system to replace its currently leased system (rather than renewing / entering a new lease contract). The new system will cost $450,000 to purchase and install. The system has an estimated life of five years, when it is expected to become obsolete, but it will have a salvage value of $25,000. The interest rate is projected to be 6% per year during the life of the project.   a. Draw a cash flow diagram for the next four years for the existing system (leased system) and a separate cash flow diagram for the system that is being considered for purchase. b.
