    The equipment should not cost more than $6,318,545.68

    Explanation:

    The most that the land scrapping equipment could cost is the present of the 1.5 million annuity discounted at 6% p. a.

    Present Value of Annuity = A * (1 - (1+r) ^ (-n)) / r

    A - 1,500,000, n - 5, r - 6%

    =1, 500,000 * ((1.06) ^ (-5)) / 0.06

    = $6,318,545.68

    The equipment should not cost more than $6,318,545.68
