Q11

Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) (The Amortization Method, see Module page11.4) Your golf course has the opportunity to choose between two mowers.

Choice #1 costs $75,000 and is expected to last 5 years.

Choice #2 costs $100,000 and is expected to last 7 years. Typically, the golf course earns a return of 12% on this type of investment.

Determine the Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) for choice #1. Round your answer to the nearest dollar

Q12

Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) (The Amortization Method, see Module page 11.4) Your golf course has the opportunity to choose between two mowers.

Choice #1 costs $75,000 and is expected to last 5 years.

Choice #2 costs $100,000 and is expected to last 7 years. Typically, the golf course earns a return of 12% on this type of investment.

Determine the Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) for choice #2. Round your answer to the nearest dollar

Explanation / Answer

Future Value = $10,000

Number of years = 30

Rate of return = 8%

Present Value = Future Value/(1+rate of return)^number of years

Present Value = $10,000/(1+8%)30 = $993.77~=  $994

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loan Installment = Present Value of Loan * periodic rate of interest / 1-(1+periodic rate of interest)^-no of periods

$25 = ($420-$40) * r /1-(1+r)-24

25/380 = r/1-(1+r)-24

r= 4% per period

Ans 4
