Washington Federal Hospital plans to invest in a new MRI. The cost of the MRI is $1,500,000. The machine has an economic life of seven years, and it will be depreciated over a seven-year life to a $100,000 salvage value. Additional revenues attributed to the new machine will amount to $1,250,000 per year for seven years. Additional operating costs, excluding depreciation expense, will amount to $1,000,000 per year for seven years. Over the life of the machine, net working capital will increase by $25,000 per year for seven years.
