Answer:
present worth = $7380
Explanation:
given data
initial cash flow = $23,000
geometric gradient = 2%
interest rate i = 10% per year
time period = 5 year
solution
we get here present worth  cost that is
present worth = initial cash flow  × [tex]\frac{1-(\frac{1+g}{1+i})^t}{1-g}[/tex]   ......................1
put here value and we get
present worth =  $23,000  × [tex]\frac{1-(\frac{1+0.02}{1+0.10})^5}{1-0.02}[/tex]  Â
present worth = $23,000  × 0.32087
present worth = $7380
