Ellis Equipment sold a used Massey Ferguson tractor for $55,000 to a South Kansas farmer 10 years ago. (a) What is the uniform net cash flow that the farmer had to receive each year to realize payback and a return of 5% per year on his investment over a period of 3 years? 5 years? 8 years? All 10 years? (b) If the net cash flow was actually $6000 per year, what is the amount the farmer should have paid for the tractor to realize payback plus the 5% per year return over these 10 years?
