Capital expenditures budget
On January 1, 20Y2, the controller of Omicron Inc. is planning capital expenditures for the years 20Y2-20Y5. The following interviews helped the controller collect the necessary information for the capital expenditures budget:
Director of Facilities A construction contract was signed in late 20Y1 for the construction of a new factory building at a contract cost of $10,000,000. The construction is scheduled to begin in 20Y2 and be completed in 20Y3.

During 20Y4, once the factory is up and running, we should equip the whole facility with wireless technology. I think it would cost us $800,000 today to install the technology. 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
