The factory manager arranged the purchase of the additive through a 5-year contract at a price of $7,000 annually, with an interest of 15% to be installed annually, and an inflation of 10%, starting from one year from now. The annual price is expected to increase by $50 annually starting from the sixth year and thereafter until the year 13. In addition, an initial investment of $3,000 has been made to prepare a suitable site for the contractor to deliver the additive.
