Item $15$

Problem $17-35($Algo$)($LO $17-5)$

On January $1,2024,$ the City of Hastings creates a solid waste landfill that it expects to reach capacity gradually over the next $20$ years. If the landfill were to be closed at the current time, closure costs would be approximately $$1\mathrm{.}78$ million plus an additional $$780,000$ for postclosure work. Of these totals, the city must pay $$62,000$ on December $31$ of each year for preliminary closure work. At the end of $2024,$ the landfill reaches $4$ percent of capacity. At the end of $2025,$ the landfill reaches $12$ percent of capacity. At the end of $2025,$ a reassessment is made. Experts determine total closure costs will be $$1\mathrm{.}98$ million rather than $$1\mathrm{.}78$ million.

Required:
