On August 1, Rantoul Stores Inc. 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 $158,000 of 6% 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	$158,000
Life of store equipment	16 years
Estimated residual value of store equipment	$12,800
Yearly costs to operate the store, excluding depreciation of store equipment	$62,095
Yearly expected revenuesyears 18	$86,800
Yearly expected revenuesyears 916	$74,300

1.	Prepare a differential analysis as of August 1 presenting the proposed operation of the store for the 16 years (Alternative 1) as compared with investing in U.S. Treasury bonds (Alternative 2).
