Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION

Present value of salvage value = Salvage value * Present value of a lump sum

= $26,500 * 0.90703

= $24,036

Cost of equipment = Fair value - Salvage Value

= $368,000 - $24,036 = $343,964

Present value of an annuity of equipment = Equipment cost / Present value of an annuity

= $343,964 / 1.85941 = $184,985
