"Your company is purchasing a machine that costs $34,000 now and can be sold for $15,000 in year 6 at the end of the machine's life. The machine costs $15,000 each year to operate and the raw materials cost $14,000 each year. The machine produces 600 pieces each year. Using an annual interest rate of 6%, what is the cost per piece produced? HINT: Calculate the Annual Equivalent Cost first."
