Christine is a new homebuyer. She wants to make sure that she incorporates the cost of maintenance into her decision. She estimates that routine repairs and maintenance on the home she is considering will be $1,590 in the first year (one year from now). Due to the increasing age of the home, she expects that maintenance costs will increase 6% annually. The interest rate is 5%. If she plans to be in the home for 10 years, what is the present value of all future maintenance? (Note that maintenance costs will change annually, and starts one year from now and she plans to do the last one before selling her house.)
