Answer:
The answer is "[tex]\$307,110.81[/tex]"
Explanation:
Following are the calculation for the present value of the saving:
Present value[tex]= c\times \frac{1-[\frac{1}{(1+r)^t}]}{r}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]=\$60,000 \times \frac{1-[\frac{1}{(1+8.5\%)^7}]}{8.5\%}\\\\=\$60,000 \times 5.118514\\\\= \$307,110.81\\\\[/tex]
therefore, the present value of the savings is [tex]\$307,110.81[/tex]
