Differential Analysis Involving Opportunity Costs On October 1, Midway Distribution Company is considering leasing a building and purchasing the necessary equipment to operate a retail store. Alternatively, the company could use the funds to invest in $148,300 of 5% 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 $148,300 Life of store equipment 16 years Estimated residual value of store equipment $18,700 Yearly costs to operate the store, excluding depreciation of store equipment $56,900 Yearly expected revenues-years 1-8 $74,500 Yearly expected revenues-years 9-16 $69,600 Required: 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of October 1 to determine whether to Operate Retail Store (Alternative 1) or Invest in Bonds (Alternative 2). If an amount is zero, enter zero "0". For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign. Required: 1.
