    This is a doubt from Q34 page 29 answer 34 page 145 of the BPP revision kit.

    Why haven’t they included a purchase in the 6th year, under the Replace Every Three years NPV calcluation ?

    They simply costed over 6 years because 6 will divide by both 2 and by 3.

    However, the alternative method they show (equivalent annual cost) is much the better approach for the exam.

    I didn’t really look at the alternative approach, I will check that out and let you know if I come across any problems there . . .
    Thank You very much for your time and help.
