Initial equipment (IE) will cost $14,000,000<br>and an additional equipment (AE) costing $1,000,000 will be needed at the end of year 2. At<br>the end of 8 years, the original equipment, IE, will have no resale value but the supplementary<br>equipment, AE, can be sold for its book value of $100,000.
