Furthermore, assume the equipment has a salvage value of $$11,500$ at the end of the project$$s life. The relevant tax rate is $25$ percent. All cash flows occur at the end of the year. What is the equivalent annual cost $($EAC$)$ of this equipment? $($Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to $2$ decimal places, e$.$g$.,32\mathrm{.}16.)$
