To calculate present value we would use PV of $1 and PVA of $1

Calculation of present value of machine A

	Cash flow	PV table	Discount factor	Present value
Purchases	-$15,000		1	-$15,000
Annual maintenance	-$500	PVA of $1 (i=8%,n=10)	6.71008	-$3,355
Salvage value	$1,575	PV of $1 (i=8%,n=10)	0.46319	$730
Present value				-$17,626

Calculation of present value of machine B

	Cash flow	PV table	Discount factor	Present value
Purchases	-12500		1	-$12,500
Annual maintenance	-2000	PV of $1 (i=8%,n=3)	0.79383	-$1,588
Annual maintenance	-2500	PV of $1 (i=8%,n=6)	0.63017	-$1,575
Annual maintenance	-3000	PV of $1 (i=8%,n=8)	0.54027	-$1,621
Present value				-$17,284

Esquire should acquire machine B as it has lower cash outflow then machine A
