    Please help me solve this question.

    A company uses 10% as cost of capital.
    Calculate the NPV of purchasing the machine based on the following:
    *purchase price of $600000
    * annual running costs of $45000 for next 5 years paid annually in arrears
    * a residual value of $220000 at end of 5 years

    Cost of the machine =60,000

    Running costs = 45,000 * 6.1051 = 274,729.5

    Less residual value = 22,000 / 1.1^5 = 13,660.269

    Total = £321,069.231

    I used an annuity table for the running costs, and if a course my answer could be wrong.

    The running costs pv is wrong in my working, I was using a dodgy annuity table! It should be

    45,000 * 3.79079 = 170,585.55
