Capital expenditures budget
On January 1, 2016, the controller of Omicron Inc. is planning capital expenditures for the years 2016-2019. The following interviews helped the controller collect the necessary information for the capital expenditures budget:

Director of Information Systems: We need to upgrade our information systems to wireless network technology. It doesn't make sense to do this until after the new factory building is completed and producing product. During 2018, 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
