Question
Exercise 10-4A (Algo) Determining the present value of an annuity LO 10-1
The dean of the School of Fine Arts is trying to decide whether to purchase a copy machine to place in the lobby of the building. The

would probably produce incremental cash inflows of approximately $16,000 per year. The machine is expected to have a three-year
useful life with a zero salvage value.
Note: Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.
Required
a. Use Present Value Appendix PV of $1, to determine the maximum amount of cash the dean should be willing to pay for a copy
machine.
