The capitalized cost c of an asset is computed by the formula
c = c0 +
,
where c0 is the initial cost of the asset, L is the lifetime (in years), r is the interest rate (compounded continuously), and m(t) is the annual cost of maintenance. Find the capitalized cost under the given assumptions.
c
0 = $800,000, r = 4%, m(t) = 60,000, L = 5
