Capital expenditures budget
On January 1, 20Y6, the controller of Omicron Inc. is planning capital expenditures for the years 20Y6-20Y9. The following interviews helped the controller collect the necessary information for the capital expenditures budget:

However, prices have been dropping by 25% per year, so it should be less expensive at a later date.
Chief financial Officer: I am excited about our long-term prospects. My only short-term concern is managing our
