    PD Co is deciding whether to replace its delivery vans every year or every other year. The initial cost of a van is $19310. Maintenance costs would be nil in the first year, and $5008 at the end of the second year and increase at 8% p.a thereafter.

    Second-hand value would fall from $9302 to $8208 if it held on to the van for two years instead of just one. It is estimated in subsequent years, that the value will be at 78% of previous year. PD Co’s cost of capital is 10%.

    What is the equivalent annual cost if replaced every 4 years (‘EAC’)?
