• PV of Salvage Value = $3,000
• PV of Lease Payments Before-tax = $18,000
• PV of Annual Service Costs After-tax = $5,000

Based on the above information, what is the present value of buying?(Do not round intermediate calculations.Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.Omit any commas and the $ sign in your response.For example, an answer of$1,000.50 should be entered as 1000.50.)
