Last year Bowen sold $5 million worth of cotton. His variable operating costs were $4.5 million; accounting deprecation was $40,000, although the actual decline in value of Bowen's machinery was 60,000 last year. Bowen paid himself a salary of $50,000, which is not considered part of his variable operating costs. Interest on his bank loan was $400,000.
