DT is evaluating an alternative for a new piece of equipment. They estimate the new equipment will cost $164,000, last 4 years, and have a maintenance and operation cost of $55,000 per year with no salvage value. Using a MARR of 22% per year, what is the present worth?
Present worth = -164000 – 55000(P/A, 22%, 4)
= -164000 – 55000*2.49364
= -301,150
Hence the present worth is -301,150
