. To find the PVA‚ we use the equation: PVA = C({1 – [1/(1 + r)]t } / r ) PVA = $60‚000{[1 – (1/1.0825)9 ] / .0825} PVA = $370‚947.84 The present value of the revenue is greater than the cost‚ so your company can afford the equipment. 7. Here we need to find the FVA. The equation to find the FVA is: FVA = C{[(1 + r)t – 1] / r} FVA for 20 years = $3‚000[(1.08520 – 1) / .085] FVA for 20 years = $145‚131.04 FVA for 40 years = $3‚000[(1.08540 – 1) / .085] FVA for 40
