Question - You are looking at the possibility of purchasing a new cyclical repeating shaker for a production line in your facility that will eliminate the risk of employee contact with the machine point-of-contact, thus reducing the need for machine-guarding investments in the future. It's state-of-the-art when you purchase, but because of the computer system governing it, it depreciates quickly. It's initial price, paid at the end of Year 1, would be $6,827. If the system depreciates at an arithmetic gradient, what would your multiplier be for an annual equivalent uniform value calculation assuming 6.25% interest over 5 years?
