Calculate the annual equivalent cost of the maintenance


Company X has been contracting its overhauling work to Company Y for $41,000 per machine per year. Company X estimates that by building a $565,000 maintenance facility with a life of 17 years and a salvage value of $68,000 at the end of its life, it could handle its own overhauling at a cost of only $20,000 per machine per year. What is the minimum annual number of machines (as an integer) that Company X must operate to make it economically feasible to build its own facility? (Assume an interest rate of 11%.) Hint: calculate the annual equivalent cost of the maintenance facility.
