A company bought a machine at a cost of $75,000. The company expects to keep the machine a maximum of 5 years. The operating cost is expected to follow the series described by 45,000+10,000k, where k is the number of years since it was purchased (k-1,2,...5). The salvage value is estimated to be $35,000 for years 1 and 2 and $20,000 for years 3 through 5.
