Following the upgrade the lab purchased another 5 year maintanence contract for $1000 a year, payable at the end of each year. Determine the present worth of the costa for purchasing the analyzer, upgrading the analyzer, and purchasing the two 5 year contracts, based on an annual interest rate of 12% compounded annualy.

Explanation / Answer

Sorry I am unable to draw flow chart here


SOlution is


35,000 + 3000/(1.12) +3000/(1.12)^2 +3000/(1.12)^3 +3000/(1.12)^4 +13000/(1.12)^5 + 1,000/(1.12)^6 +1000/(1.12)^7+1000/(1.12)^8 +1000/(1.12)^9 +1000/(1.12)^10

Total sum = 54534.04 $
