Pierce Products is deciding whether it makes sense to purchase a new piece of equipment. The equipment costs $100,000 (payable at t = 0) t = 1: 0.33 t = 2: 0.45
T = 3: 0.15
T = 4: 0.07
At the end of four years the company expects to be able to sell the equipment for a salvage value of $10,000 (after-tax) . The company is in the 40 percent tax bracket.

B) $16,498.72
C) $20,564.23
