the accuracy of the financial statements which show fairly stable revenues at about $600,000 per
year and expenses of about $440,000 per year. All transactions are in cash. After studying the

7. Johnson Fluids can expand production 32% by investing $425,000 in additional manufacturing
equipment. The firm's accountants have estimated that the incremental production has a sales
value of $300,000 at current prices and would cost $215,000 (not including the cost of the
equipment). The estimated life of this equipment is 10 years. Furthermore, the accountants have
determined that the present value of these cash flows, when discounted at 15%, is $426,595.
