The Ste. Marie Division of Pacific Media Corporation just started operations. It purchased depreciable assets costing $45 million and having a four-year expected life, after which the assets can be salvaged for $9 million. In addition, the division has $45 million in assets that are not depreciable. After four years, the division will have $45 million available from these nondepreciable assets. This means that the division has invested $90 million in assets with a salvage value of $54 million. Annual depreciation is $9 million. Annual operating cash flows are $28 million.
