Menomonie McDenny's restaurant is considering investing in a kitchen
in a renovated van, to sell food at outdoor events.
The van will cost $90,000 to outfit, and it will be sold in year 4 for $10,000.
The van has a 5-year MACRS recovery period, for depreciation purposes.
The van will generate $48,000 in revenues and have $12,000 in expenses each year.
There is a 35% federal tax and a 10% state tax rate.
McDenny's uses an interest rate of 20% per year.
