Alternatively, the company could use the funds to invest in $151,400 of 6% U.S. Treasury bonds that mature in 16 years. The bonds could be purchased at face value. The following data have been assembled: Cost of store equipment Life of store equipment Estimated residual value of store equipment $151,400 16 years $17,200 Yearly costs to operate the warehouse, excluding depreciation of equipment $56,300 Yearly expected revenues-years 1-8 75,000 70,900 Yearly expected revenues-years 9-16 Required: 1.
