    A. -$272,638

    Explanation:

    Firstly, we need to calculate the total present value of initial investment plus all operating cost of the project. Then we will use that amount to solve for equal-amount annual operating cost.

    Total present value of the project is - 689,000 - 41,000 / (1+13%) - 41,000 / (1+13%) ^2 + ... + 41,000 / (1+13%) ^4, or - 810,953.32 (negative sign mean cost).

    So, the equivalent annual cost of an oven is - 272,638.

    The equation solving problem can be made easily using Excel or BA II plus calculator.
