Present value of each alternative

Quick and Dirty = 12 million + (2- (2+12/4)*0.35 ) PVIFA(15%,4) = 12 + 0.7137 = $12.7317 million

do it right = 13 million + (2-(2+13/5)*0.35)PVIFA(15%,5) = 13 + 1.3073 = $14.3073 million


the equivalent annual cost of each alternative

Quck and Dirty = 12.7317/PVIFA(15%,4) = $4.4595 Million

do it right = 14.3073/PVIFA(15%,5) = $4.2681 Million
