Solution: -

N. P. V of Equipment = $245,000

Annual Cost = $70,000

N. P. V of all cost = $245,000 + 70,000 [1/1.15 + 1/1.15^2 + 1/1.15^3 + 1/1.15^4]

= $245,000 + 70,000 [0.869 + 0.7561 + 0.657 + 0.5717]

= $245,000 + 70,000 [2.8538]

= $245,000 + 1,99,766

= $4,44,766

Thus EUAC = NPV i(1+i) ^n / (1+i) ^n - 1

= $4,44,766 * 0.35026535

= 1,55,786.12

There must be profit of 1,55,786.12 per year

Profit 1 unit is produced in house = 100 - 55 = 45

No of units produced = 1,55,786.12 / 45

= 3,461.91 units
