Question

Ross System received a price quote for a CNC router for a cost of $50,000. The operation and maintenance cost is expected to be about $2,000 per year. Salvage value is expected to be zero when the machine is retired. Since it is a machine based on a new design, the life is expected to vary anywhere from 4 to 7 years with the associated probabilities as shown in the table below. If the interest rate is 12%, what is the expected EUAC for this router?
