If a machine has an initial purchase price of 4,000,000, a salvage value of 600,000, and operating costs of 200,000 yearly, calculate the EAC over five years using a capital recovery factor of 0.2023.
💡 Hint: Remember to factor in both the depreciation and annual operating costs.
Evaluate how different salvage values (300,000 versus 600,000) could change the EAC calculation across five years. Assume the same operating costs and purchasing price.
💡 Hint: Examine how salvage values affect overall cash flow calculations.
