(10 points) A contractor is considering the purchase of a new excavator. Annual Maintenance and repair costs of the owned excavator is estimated to be $6,000. The initial purchase price is $180,000 and the salvage value after 6 years of useful life is 40,000. If the contractor could rent the same scraper, what is the maximum annual rent payment at which the contractor would gain equal present values for purchase and rent options? (Use discount rate of 8%)?
