Hollywood Tabloid needs a new state-of-the-art camera to produce its monthly magazine. The company is looking at two cameras that are both capable of doing the job and has determined the following: Camera 1 costs $4,900. It should last for eight years and have annual maintenance costs of $220 per year. After eight years, the magazine can sell the camera for $290. Camera 2 costs $4,400. It will also last for eight years and have maintenance costs of $790 in year three, $900 in year five, and $1,000 in year seven. After eight years, the camera will have no resale value. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Required: 1-a.
