California Health Center, a for profit hospital, is evaluating the purchase of a new diagnostic equipment. The equipment, which costs $600,000, has an expected life of five years and an estimated pretax salvage of $200,000 at that time. The equipment is expected to be used 15 times a day for 250 days a year for each year of the project’s life. On average, each procedure is expected to generate $80 in collections,which is net of bad debt loses and contractual allowances,in its first year of use. Thus,net revenues for year 1 are estimated at 15x 250x$80=$300,000.Labor and maintenance costs are expected to be $100,000 during the first year of operation, while utilities will cost another $10,000 and cash overhead will increase by $5,000 in Year 1. The cost for expendable supplies is expected to average $5 per procedure during the first year.
