At 10% per year, determine the annual life cycle cost for the following data.
| Component | Estimated cost | 
| Development | $100,000 now | 
| Programming | $20,000 now $ 10,000 years 1-4 $15, 000 years 5-6  | 
| Operation | $8,000 years 1-6 | 
| Support | $ 4,000 years 1-3 | 
| 
 $214,200  | 
||
| 
 $217,240  | 
||
| 
 $49,200  | 
||
| 
 $49,940  | 
Option(A) $214,200 is correct.
*Life cycle cost- It estimates a product's revenue and expenses over it's entire life cycle.
*Life cycle cost = Initial cost + (Annual costs *Project Life*Discouting factor)
| Component | Estimated Cost | Years | PV | PV Amount | 
| Development | $ 100,000 | Now | 1.000 | $ 100,000.00 | 
| Programming | $ 20,000 | Now | 1.000 | $ 20,000.00 | 
| $ 10,000 | Year 1-4 | 3.170 | $ 31,699.00 | |
| $ 15,000 | Year 5-6 | 1.185 | $ 17,781.00 | |
| Operation | $ 8,000 | Year 1-6 | 4.350 | $ 34,802.00 | 
| Support | $ 4,000 | Year 1-3 | 2.480 | $ 9,918.00 | 
| Annual Life Cycle cost: | $214,200 | 
*Year 1-4 = 0.909+0.826+0.751+0.683 = 3.170,
*YEar 5-6 = 0.621+0.564 = 1.185;
*Year 1-6 = 0.909+0.826+0.751+0.683+0.621+0.564 = 4.350;
*Year 1-3 = 0.909+0.826+0.751 = 2.480.
