A company owns a fleet of trucks and operates its own maintenance shop. A particular type of truck,
generally used for five years, has an initial cost of $75,000 and a salvage value of $15,000. Maintenance
cost is $5,000 per year, and it increases by $2000 yearly. Assuming interest at 10%, find the equivalent
annual cost of owning and maintaining the truck.
Q2. A machine has an initial purchase cost of $100,000, an annual operation and
maintenance cost of $2,000, a life of 10 years, and a salvage value of $20,000. At
the end of years 4 and 8, it requires a major service (overhaul), which costs
$20,000 and $15,000 respectively. What is the present equivalent cost of owning
and operating this machine if the interest rate is 10% per year?
Deere Construction just purchased a new track hoe attachment costing $12,500. The CFO, John,expects the implement will be used for five years when it is estimated to have a salvage value of$4,000. Maintenance costs are estimated to be $0 the first year and will increase by $100 eachyear thereafter. If a 12% interest rate is used, what is the equivalent uniform annual cost of theimplement?
