Part A: [15 points] You just purchased a new milling machine for $100,000. The market value for this machine declines by 10% each year from its previous year. The max. useful life is 10 years. The O&M costs are $2000 in the first year and increase by 30% each year. For simplicity, the numbers are provided in the following table:

n

market value o &m costs
0 100000 -
1 90000 2000
2 81000 2600
3 72900 3380
4 65610 4394
5 59049 5712
6 53144 7426
7 47830 9654
8 43047 12550
9 38742 16315
10 34868 21209

If the interest rate is 12%, what is the economic service life of the machine? And what is its corresponding equivalent annual costs? (You do not need to try the 10 years. Just try years 5, 6, and 7)
