Ogren Corporation is considering purchasing a new spectrometer for the firm's R&D department. The purchase price is $70,000 and it would cost another $15,000 to install it. The spectrometer which falls into the MACRS 3-year property class (Year 1-33.33%, Year 2 - 44.44%, Year 3 - 14.82%, and Year 4 - 7.41%) is projected to be sold after three years for $30,000.
