    5,000 x annuity df for 8 years = 24,000

    So 8 year annuity d.f. = 24,000 / 5,000 = 4.800

    If you look in the annuity tables along the 8 year row, then the rate of interest that gives 4.800 is 13%

    I think the answer is 4000?
    100% project C, same with Project A which means only 10,000 left for project B so only 800 profit there

    Aleksandrs is correct with regard to the capital rationing problem.

    For the lease problem:

    Suppose the lease payment is X per year.

    The first payment is immediate (it is paid at the start of the year), so the PV is X.

    There are then 7 payments. The PV of these is 4.868X (4.868 is the 7 year annuity factor).
    So the total PV is X + 4.868X = 5.868X

    This must be equal to 52,000

    So X = 52,000 / 5.868 = $8862

    For the replacement problem:

    The PV of the first machine is 7,963

    So the EAC = 7963 / 1.736 = $4,587
