4. In 5 years, $18,000 will be needed to pay for a building renovation. In order to generate this sum, a sinking fund consisting of three annual payments is established now. No further payments will be made after the third year. What payments are most nearly necessary if money is worth 15% per year? 5. A replacement electric motor is being considered for purchase. It is capable of providing 200 HP. The pertinent data are as follows. cost = $3200 electrical efficiency = 0.85 maintenance cost per year = $50 life expectancy = 14 years salvage value after 14 years = $0 The motor is used for 400 hours/ rs/year and 0.04/kW·h the cost of electricity is $0.04/ (1 HP = 0.746 kW). What is most nearly the effective annual cost using an interest rate of 10%?
