The estimated annual operating results with the new equipment are as follows. (Use Exhibit 26-4.) Revenue from sales of industrial distilling vats $957,000 Expenses other than depreciation $675,000 Depreciation (straight-line basis) 225,000 900,000 Increase in net income from industrial distilling vats $ 57,000 All revenue from the sale of industrial distilling vats and all expenses (except depreciation) will be received or paid in cash in the same period as recognized for accounting purposes. a.
