Question

(1 point) The capitalized cost of an assset is the sum of the original cost of the asset and the present value of maintaining the asset. Suppose a company is considering the purchase of two different machines. Machine 1 costs $20000 and t years from now will cost MI (t) = 4000(1 + 0.08 dollars to maintain. Machine 2 costs only $6000, but its maintenance cost at time t is M2() = 4300 dollars. If the cost of money is 5% per year compounded continuously, what is the capitalized cost of each machine? Machine 1 cost: dollars. Machine 2 cost dollars.

Explanation / Answer

Machine 1 Cost= (20000+4000(1+0.08t))*(1.05)t

=(24000+320t )*(1.05)t

Machine 2 Cost= (6000+4300)*(1.05)t

= (10300 * 1.05t)
