Question

Suppose, live A-V Engineering Fabrication plans to invest to buy the new machine with an estimate of $90,000. This new will enable mote production which estimates an average ear rung of $50,000/year. Salvage value of the machine after 10 years is expected to be $10,000. However, running the new machine for extra time will incur additional operating cost of $15.000/year. Assume a fixed 15% interest rate. How many years (Find n, years ?) would it take to get the return on the new machine investment.
