of low demand. A company that makes Ethernet adapters is planning to
expand its production facility at a cost of $1,000,000 one year from now.
However, a contractor who needs work has offered to do the job for $790,000
if the company will do the expansion now instead of 1 year from now. If the
interest rate is 15% per year, how much of a discount is the company getting?
