Your company just purchased a piece of equipment. The maintenance cost of the equipment is estimated at $1,200 for the first year and it is to rise by $200 each year. How much should be set aside now to have enough to cover for the maintenance cost for the next 7 years? Assume payments are made at the end of each year and an interest rate of 4%.
Maintenance costs= 1200
Time = 7
Rate of interest= 4%
So amount set aside= 1200(p/A, 4%, 7)
= 1200*3.630
=$ 4356
