You work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $5,100,000 and would be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Because of radiation contamination, it will actually be completely valueless in four years.
