Saitama Amusements Corporation places electronic games and other amusement devices in supermarkets and similar outlets throughout Japan. Saitama Amusements is investigating the purchase of a new electronic game called Mythical Marauders. The manufacturer will sell 20 games to Saitama Amusements for a total price of 197,000. (The Japanese currency is the yen, which is denoted by the symbol .) Saitama Amusements has determined the following additional information about the game:

a.	The game would have a four-year useful life and a negligible salvage value. The company uses straight-line depreciation.
b.	The game would replace other games that are unpopular and generating little revenue. These other games would be sold for a total of 28,500.
c.	Saitama Amusements estimates that Mythical Marauders would generate annual incremental revenues of 237,000 (total for all 20 games). Annual incremental out-of-pocket costs would be (in total): maintenance, 51,500; and insurance, 9,700. In addition, Saitama Amusements would have to pay a commission of 44% of total revenues to the supermarkets and other outlets in which the games were placed. (Ignore income taxes.)
