I don't know about you, but I'm already dreading the disposal costs. Couldn't they just donate the equipment to a museum or something?

The disposal costs are really going to hurt the bottom line, aren't they? I wonder if they factored in the cost of hiring a professional junk removal service.

This is a tricky one. I feel like I'm missing something in the calculations, but I can't put my finger on it. Guess I'll have to review the formulas again.

Hmm, 31% seems a bit high. I bet the answer is going to be somewhere in the teens, but I'll double-check my work just to be sure.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. A 20% increase in disposal costs would be an additional $10 million, so that's definitely going to impact the NPV.
