Your company is considering the purchase of new earth


Your company is considering the purchase of new earth moving equipment. The total purchase is $240,000 and we pay with $100,000 cash and borrow the rest. (12% per year nominal, compounded monthly for 5 years). The machines last for 7 years and will be worth $35,000 at the end of 7 years. The machines will save approximately $20 per ton of dirt moved. Operating costs for the equipment are $500 per month. At the end of year 3, you will have to do an overhaul and that costs $30,000. Assume that MARR is 1.5% per month and ignore the effect of taxes and depreciation.

Compute the monthly payment for the loan. Please be clear and specify the interest rate and the number of periods that you will use in the formulas.
