(25 pts.) Marmara University Copy Center buys three copier machines that each have a useful life of seven years and a salvage value of $1000/copier machine. A sinking fund is established to replace all the machines at the end of 7 years. The replacement cost will be $6,000/copier machine. If equal payments are made into the fund at the end of every 6 months and the fund earns interest at the rate of 12% compounded semiannually, what should each payment be?

useful life = 7 years
Salvage Value =$1000/copier machine
Total Salvage Value =$1000*3 copiers
Total Salvage Value= $3000
Replacement Cost = $6000/copier machine
Total Replacement cost =$6000 * 3 copiers
Total Replacement Cost= $18000
Net amount needed for replacement = $18000 -$3000 = $15000
now,
Future Value of annuity = A * [(1+r)^n-1] / r
Future value of annuity = $15000
A = annual payment
r= rate per period i.e. 12%/2 = 6% or say 0.06 (since semiannually therefore dividing by 2)
n = no. of periods i.e. 7*2 = 14 (since semiannually therefore multiplying by 2)
15000 = A* {[(1+.06)^14-1] / 0.06}
15000 = A* {[(1.06)^14-1] / 0.06}
15000 = A* [(2.260904-1) / 0.06]
15000 = A* (1.260904/0.06)
15000 = A* 21.0150
A( annual payment) = $713.773
Ans. The correct steps in processing transactions are as follow
Step I Identify transactions and source documents.
Step II Anaylse transactions using Accounting Equation
