2. A
local coffee shop is evaluating whether it should add donuts to its menu. To
produce the donuts, the shop has to invest in a new donut machine. The shop
projects that the new machine will last for only 3 years, and generate revenues
of $20,000 in year one, $12,000 in year two and $10,000 in year three. The
company will incur costs of goods sold of 70% of sales, and will need to cover
operating expenses (not including depreciation) of $500 per year, regardless of
sales volume. The donut machine, which will require an immediate capital
expenditure of $3,000, will be fully depreciated in equal amounts over the
3-year life. The coffee shop faces a tax rate of 40%. Assuming a cost of
