Pollution control equipment for a pulverized coal cyclone furnace is estimated to cost $270,000, 2 years from now, an additional $120,000, 4 years from now and, an additional $100,000 5years from now At i=8 % per year,what is the equivalent annual worth of the cash flow series?
The present worth = 270,000(P/F, 8%, 2) + 120,000(P/F, 8%, 4) + 100,000(P/F, 8%, 5)
= 270,000(0.8573) + 120,000(0.7350) + 100,000(0.6806)
= 231,471 + 88,200 + 68,060
= 387,731
Equivalent annual worth = 387,731(A/P, 8%, 5)
= 387,731(0.2505)
= $97,126.62
Thus, the equivalent annual worth of the cash flow series is $97,126.62
