An industrial sewing machine costs $6760 and is expected to have a scrap value of $3732 whenever it is retired. Operating and Maintenance costs are $1852 for the first year and expected to increase by $1923 thereafter. If the MARR is 9%, determine the minimum equivalent uniform annual cost associated with the optimal economic life of the machine. The service life of this machine is 5 years
year | annual cash flow | PVF9% | cash flow *PVF |
0 | 6760 | 1 | 6760 |
1 | 1852 | .91743 | 1699.08 |
2 | 1852+1923=3775 | .84168 | 3177.34 |
3 | 3775+1923= 5698 | .77218 | 4399.88 |
4 | 5698+1923= 7621 | .70843 | 5398.95 |
5 | 7621+1923= 9544 | .64993 | 6202.93 |
5 | -3732 |

Net Total cost | 25212.64 |
**Find PVF using the formula 1/(1+i)^n where i =9% ,n =1,2,3,4,5
**PVA9%,5= 3.88965 (can be find from present value annuity factor table)
minimum equivalent uniform annual cost = Net total cost /PVA9%,5
= 25212.64 /3.88965
= $ 6481.98
