The project management team lead is evaluating a project proposal from their engineering staff. The staff have proposed a capital purchase of a new machine for use.

The year zero purchase costs are estimated as $30,000 with an additional (one-time) investment of $8,000 at the end of the second year of operation.

Annual operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are estimated as $6,000 per year.

Installation of the new machine is expected to provide revenue of $8,000 for the first year, $10,000 for year 2, $12,00 for year 3 and then $14,000 for years 4 through 12.

The company currently uses a MARR of 12% for project assessment.
