Lugano’s Pizza Parlor is considering the purchase of a large oven and related equipment for mixing and baking “crazy bread.” The oven and equipment would cost $143,200 delivered and installed. It would be usable for about 15 years, after which it would have a 10% scrap value. The following additional information is available:

a.

Mr. Lugano estimates that purchase of the oven and equipment would allow the pizza parlor to bake and sell 80,000 loaves of crazy bread each year. The bread sells for $1.35 per loaf.

b.

The cost of the ingredients in a loaf of bread is 40% of the selling price. Mr. Lugano estimates that other costs each year associated with the bread would be as follows: salaries, $25,000; utilities, $3,000; and insurance, $1,000.

c.

The pizza parlor uses straight-line depreciation on all assets, deducting salvage value from original cost.
