The purchase (including the installation) of the new equipment requires an initial investment for an amount of 8 000 000$. The old equipment can be sold in the beginning of project on the market for 500 000$ (For simplification, consider this amount as an exchange value) The new equipment will be sold for 1 000 000$ in 10 years (end of project). The purchase of the equipment requires a new issue of long term bonds with a coupon rate of 8% over 10 years. The project also requires major renovations of the old building for the amount of 500 000$ and an additional investment in heavy machinery for the total amount of 1 000 000$ at the end of 5th year (Both amounts are depreciable with declining method under the tax law).
