A machine has a first cost of $180,000. Its service life is 10 years when it can be sold for$30,000. Annual maintenance costs are $3,500. At years 4 and 8, it will require major servicing at a cost of $20,000 each. What is the equivalent annual cost of owning and operating this machine, assuming that the rate is 15%?
