Bryson Sciences is planning to purchase a high-powered microscopy machine for$55,000 and incur an additional $7,500 in installation expenses. It is replacing sim-ilar microscopy equipment that can be sold to net $35,000, resulting in taxes from again on the sale of $11,250. Because of this transaction, current assets will increaseby $6,000 and current liabilities will increase by $4,000. Calculate the initial invest-ment in the high-powered microscopy machine.
