The cost of equipment to apply epoxy paint to a warehouse floor is $1400. Materials and supplies (masking tape, surface repair material, solvents, cleanup supplies, etc.) will cost $2.03/ft^2. Alternatively, a contractor can be hired annually to do the job for $3.25ft^2. If the cost of the equipment will be recovered at I = 10% per year over a three-year period with no salvage value, the number of square feet that must be treated each year to justify the equipment purchase is closest to 1148 ft^2. 953 ft^2. 2457 ft^2. 460 ft^2
