Default Annual Cost of Equipment

Trying to work out the annual cost of machinery purchase but having
difficulty getting a function which seems to incorporate all that needs
to be considered. The parameters I have are, putting them in cells for
easier reference.
A1 Original Cost
A2 Period of depreciation (use)
A3 Interest rate
A4 Salvage value

What I am trying to get is the annual cost of purchasing this equipment.
I appreciate you can have situations where the cost is higher in the
initial years but I am not really bothered with this, it is the average
cost.
I had tried using the SLN function but this does not take in the
interest rate. There is also an annual repair charge to be added but I
do not think this could be incorporated into the function.
I would value any guidance.

Kind regards
