John's House of Music wants to purchase Transposelt, 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 $$11,400$; a new computer and a laser printer costing $$4,600$ will be needed to run the system. John estimates that the

system will generate additional annual sales revenue of $$24,200$ and that annual cash expenditures will be $$18,151.$ John uses

straight$-$line depreciation. The software, computer, and printer will have a useful life of $5$ years. The system will have a $$155$ salvage

value at the end of its $5-$year useful life.
