Question

The capitalized cost of an initial investment of $200,000 and annual investments of $30,000 forever at an interest rate of 10% per year is closest to

Answer 1

$15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Capitalized cost = Initial cost + Interest.

Initial cost = Principal - $10,000

Interest = Principal * Rate * Time/100

Given Principal = $10,000

Rate (in %) = 10%

Time (in years) = 5 years

Interest = 10,000*10*5/100

Interest = $5000

Capitalized cost = Initial cost + Interest.

Capitalized cost = $10,000+$5,000

Capitalized cost = $15,000

Hence the capitalized cost of $10,000 every 5 years forever, starting now at an interest rate of 10% per year, is closest to $15,000
