Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 33PS
Equivalent annual costs We warned that equivalent annual costs should be calculated in real terms. We did not fully explain why. This problem will show you.
Look back to the cash flows for machines A and B (in “The Choice between Long- and Short-Lived Equipment”). The present values of purchase and operating costs are 28.37 (over three years for A) and 21.00 (over two years for B). The real discount rate is 6% and the inflation rate is 5%.
- a. Calculate the three- and two-year level nominal
annuities which have present values of 28.37 and 21.00. Explain why these annuities are not realistic estimates of equivalent annual costs. (Hint: In real life machinery rentals increase with inflation.) - b. Suppose the inflation rate increases to 25%. The real interest rate stays at 6%. Recalculate the level nominal annuities. Note that the ranking of machines A and B appears to change. Why?
