It will be depreciated straight-line to zero value over the 10-year econmic life of the project. Interest cost associated with financing the equipment purchases is estimated to be $30,000 annually. The espected salvage value of the machine at the end of 10 years is $200,000.

One year ago a marketing survey was performed to gauge the likely successf this new project. The survey cost $25,000, and was paid last year.

If this new equipment is acquired. It will also allow the replacement of old equipment used for other food lines. This oldequipment can be salvaged for $150,000 nd has a book value of $200,000. The remaining depreciation on the old equipment is $30,000 annually for five more years.
