Question

Video cards based on Nvidia's highly praised GeForce2 GTS processor tipically costs - $260.00. Nividia released a light version of the ship that costs $170. If a certain video game maker was purchasing 1,000 chips per month, what was the present worth of savings associated with the cheaper chip over a 2-year period at an interest rate of 24% per year, compounded monthly?


Known...

1.) Evaluate what PW cost would be for company @ $260/chip

2.)Evaluate @ $170/chip over 2yr. period

3.) Compare answers and difference between the two will be the savings.


How do I set this problem up???

Explanation / Answer

annual interest rate,r = (1 + 0.24/12)^2 - 1

= 0.0404 = 4.04%

saving = 260-170 = $90 per chip

1.)

PW for expensive chip:

= 260*1000*(P|F,0.0404,2)

= 260000*0.9238

= $ 240199.81

2.)

PW for cheap chip:

= 170*1000*(P|F,0.0404,2)

= 170*1000**0.9238

= $ 157053.72

3.)

savings = 240199.81-157053.72

= $ 83146.09
