Present Worth, Future Worth, EUAS/EUAC, Internal Rate of Return

1. A used machine costs $20,000 to purchase. It has an annual maintenance cost of $20,000, a salvage value of $5,000, and a 10-year life. The interest rate is 10% per year, compounded annually,

(a) What is the present worth cost of the machine?

(b) What is the future worth cost of the machine?

(c) What is the EUAC (equivalent uniform annual cost) of the machine?

(d) What is the capital recovery of the machine (the value of capital recovery represents the annualized net cost of the machine, it does not take into account operating or maintenance expenses associated with the asset)

2. Compute the IRR for the following cash flows:

end of year 0 1 2 3
cash flow, $1,000 -50 30 -1 30
