Example 1
Andrew has purchased a new car. He
wishes to set aside enough money in a bank
account to pay the maintenance for the
first 5 years. It has been estimated that the
maintenance cost of a car is as follows:
Year Maintenance Cost
1
$120
2
150
3
180
4
210
5
240
Example 1 (cont.)
Assume the maintenance costs occur at the
end of each year and that the bank pays
5% interest. How much should Andrew
deposit in the bank now?
Solution Example 1
240
210
180
150
120
= $766.00
Example 2
On a certain piece of machinery, it is
estimated that the maintenance expense
will be as follows:
Year Maintenance
1
$100
2
200
3
300
4
400

Example 3*
Demand for a new product will decline as
competitors enter the market. If interest is
10% what is an equivalent uniform value?
Year Revenue

-$6000
A = 24000 6000(A/G, 10%, 4)
= $15, 714.00
Example 4*
A cars warranty is 3 years. Upon expiration,
annual maintenance starts at $150 and
then climbs $25 per year until the car is sold
at the end of Year 7. Use a 10% interest rate
and find the present worth of these
expenses.

P = 150(P/A, 10%, 4) +

Geometric Gradient
Solving for P given A and g,
1 (1 + g)n (1 + i)n
P= A
ig
Where
g = uniform rate of cash flow
increase/decrease from period to period,
that is, the geometric gradient
A= value of cash flow at any year n
Example 11:
The first-year maintenance cost for a new
car is estimated to be $100, and its
increases at a uniform rate of 10% per year.
Using an 8% interest rate, calculate the
present worth of the cost of the first 5 years
of maintenance.

P = 100

P = $480.42
The present worth of cost of maintenance
for the first 5 years is $480.42.
