The system also permits customers to call up current quotes on terminals in the lobby.

Although the equipment has a 6-year useful life, it is classified as a special-purpose computer and therefore falls into the MACRS 3-year class.

The equipment would be sold after 4 years, and the best estimate of its residual value is $200,000. However, because real-time display system technology is…
