$1952.945

Explanation:

To solve this we will First find the NPV of the Net cash flows, please kindly go through the table in the attachment for this.

Now find the Annuity of that NPV.

PV = A [ (1+r)^n - 1] / [r*(1+r)^n]

15831.31 = A [ (1+0.10)^10 - 1] / [0.10*(1+0.10)^10]

A = 2576.47

EUAC = (asset price*discount rate)/(1-(1+discount rate)^-no of periods))

= $1952.945
