Healthcare America is weighing the purchase of a new $3M MRI facility to serve its expanding presence in orthopedic medicine. The machine is expected to be nearly fully utilized in the next five years. The government recently exempted taxes on profits from new investments to encourage capital investments. The equipment is expected to have ten years of useful life with no salvage value. The company employs straight-line depreciation. Net cash inflows of $800,000 are expected each year for five years. The company uses a rate of 9% in evaluating its capital investment projects.
