On August 1, Matrix Stores Inc. is considering leasing a building and purchasing the necessary equipment to operate a retail store. Alternatively, the company could use the funds to invest in $150,000 of 6% U.S. Treasury bonds that mature in 16 years. The bonds could be purchased at face value. The following data have been assembled:
Cost of store equipment: $150000
Life of store equipment: 16 years
Estimated residual value of store equipment: $18000
Yearly costs to operate the store, excluding depreciation of store equipment $56000
Yearly expected revenues ‘ years 1 ‘ 8 $75000
Yearly expected revenues ‘ years 9 ‘ 16 $70000
Prepare a differential analysis as of August 1, 2012, presenting the proposed operation of the store for the 16 years (Alternative 1) as compared with investing in U.S. Treasury bonds (Alternative 2). If an amount is zero, enter zero “0”.
