A capital investment is going to be made in a company, for which it is necessary to spend the amount of $175,000 in equipment, with a salvage value of $17,000 at the end of its useful life of 8 years. It is estimated that said project will produce additional income before depreciation and taxes of $45,500 per year and operating costs of $18,500, increasing by $580 annually. The company manager analyzes the possibility of requesting a loan of $75,000 to be able to acquire the machinery (the rest would be provided by the company).
