- Question 4 Neptune company plans to purchase a new machine for the expansion project. The machine's price is RM200,000 and it would cost another RM20,000 for installation and RM 15,000 for net working capital. The company is planning to finance the machine's cost through bank loan with an interest rate of 8% per year.
