needs to decide if it is worth it to replace the machine right now.
A new machine is worth R50 000, but she does not really have the capital now to
replace the machine. Her brother owns such a machine and has indicated that he will

the present value of the machine before deciding. Given the high decrease of the
discounting factors along with the high interest rates offered on the machine and the
long time period she will require to pay off the machines, the following is correct:
