For this sort of question you can be can be asked to calculate the net benefit/cost per year (but not the effective annual cost - not for this sort of question). You can find out how to do it by watching our free lectures on this - I am sorry but I cannot type them all out here. (Our lectures are a complete course for Paper F9 and cover everything you need to be able to pass the exam well)
