Eddie's Precision Machine Shop ... Eddie's Precision Machine Shop is insured for $700,000. The present yearly insurance premium is $1.00 per $100 of coverage. A sprinkler system with an estimated life of 20 years and no salvage value can be installed for $20,000. Annual maintenance costs for the sprinkler system are $400.
