A baseball company is thinking of opening a new production facility. Key data are shown below. It owns a building that is suitable for this purpose. There is, however, a developer who has offered $250,000 for the building which would net them $175,000 after taxes if they decides not to use the existing building for the production facility. The production equipment necessary for the project would be fully depreciated on a straight line basis by the end of the project’s 4 year life (ie book value will equal O).
