Donalds House of Music wants to purchase TransposeIt, a system that transposes any song in its database and prints sheet music in the requested key. This system allows singers to obtain sheet music in keys that are suitable to their vocal range. The software for the system costs $ 10,500; a new computer and a laser printer costing $ 3,900 will be needed to run the system. Donald estimates that the system will generate additional annual sales revenue of $ 24,100 and that annual cash expenditures will be $ 18,528. Donald uses straight-line depreciation. The software, computer, and printer will have a useful life of 5 years. The system will have a $ 220 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life.
