Answer:

$110,692

Explanation:

To determine the cost of the equipment that Starcents purchased, we must find the present value of its cash flows:

  1. Cash flow year 1 $10,000
  2. Cash flow year 2 $10,000
  3. Cash flow year 3 $10,000 + $100,000 = $110,000

the discount rate is 6%

equipment purchase cost = ($10,000 / 1.06) + ($10,000 / 1.06²) + ($110,000 / 1.06³) = $9,434 + $8.900 + $92,358 = $110,692
