On July 1, Campus 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 $1,500,000 of 2% U.S. Treasury bonds that mature in 15 years. The bonds could be purchased at face value. The following data have been assembled:

Line Item Description Amount Cost of store equipment $1,500,000 Life of store equipment 15 years Estimated residual value of store equipment $75,000 Yearly costs to operate the store, excluding depreciation of store equipment $320,000 Yearly expected revenuesyears 1-6 $400,000 Yearly expected revenuesyears 7-15 $600,000 Required: Question Content Area 1. Prepare a differential analysis as of July 1 presenting the proposed operation of the store for the 15 years (Alternative 1) as compared with investing in U.S. Treasury bonds (Alternative 2). If an amount is zero, enter "0". If required, use a minus sign to indicate a loss.
