(ignore income taxes in this problem.) peter wants to buy a computer which he expects to save him $4,000 each year in bookkeeping costs. the computer will last for five years, and at the end of five years it will have no salvage value. if peter's required rate of return is 12%, what is the maximum price peter should be willing to pay for the computer now?

To answer this item, we should be able to calculate for the present worth of the item that is expected to give an annuity of $4,000.

The equation that would allow us to calculate for the present worth from simple annuity is,

                                P = A x ((1 + i)^n - 1) / i(1 + i)^n))

Substituting the known value for A, i and n.

                               P = ($4000) x ((1 + 0.12)^5 - 1)/ 0.12(1 + 0.12)^5))

                               P = 14,419

Thus, Peter would have to be willing to pay for the computer for $14,419. 

My first question is what benefits do you expect to achieve from career exploration? the benefits that i expect to achieve from career exploration. for me i think the benefits of exploring many different careers are that you get exposed to more, so it's easier for you to pick which one you like best. another benefit is that you get a more first hand view of what jobs are more likely to be needed in the future and that can be factored into your consideration. my second question is what do you expect to be the most challenging parts of your career planning process? why? the most challenging parts of my career planning process is trying to get things in order and trying to write this paragraph it is confusing and, hard work. and last but not least my third question is i think the most challenging part is taking the first step and really deciding on a career you want to pursue; there are so many options and it can be hard to choose.which jobs will allow me to make a living? ; what skills does emergency medical technician emergency medical services medical » physiology require?
