Description
Assignment Details:
Marker’s Tattoo Studio wants to buy new laser therapy equipment. This new equipment would cost $300,000 to purchase and $20,000 to install. Marker’s estimates that this new equipment would yield incremental margins of $98,000 annually due to new client services. It would require incremental cash maintenance costs of $10,000 annually. Marker’s expects the life of this equipment to be 5 years. They estimate a terminal disposal value of $20,000.
Marker’s has a 25% income tax rate and depreciates assets on a straight-line basis (to terminal value) for tax purposes. The required rate of return on investments is 10%.
Determine the expected increase in annual net income from investing in the new equipment.
Calculate the accrual accounting rate of return based on average investment.
Summarize whether the new equipment is worth investing in from a net present value (NPV) standpoint.
Suppose that the tax authorities are willing to let Marker’s depreciate the new equipment down to zero over its useful life. If Marker’s plans to liquidate the equipment in 5 years, should it take this option? Quantify the impact of this choice on the NPV of the new equipment.
Please submit your assignment.
For assistance with your assignment, please use your textbook, all course resources, and any external research and resources you have gathered.

I put two attachments one is the instructions and the other is the example. There are some number crunches at the end of the paper, but I sent an example.

****I have to record a podcast so the essay can be formal but still APA. I have to read this assignment as a podcast interviewee. Every rubric requirement can be the “question” of the interviewer. For example, “What is Health Informatics?” “Health Informatics is xyz.” “What are three benefits of simulaton?” “Benefits of simulation include xyz”. 
The essay should start off with introductions of the podcast interviewer (you can name them Nicole Bergen) and myself (Angel Maldonado) as the chief information technician at Carrion Care Medical Center.
You are the chief information technician at Carrion Care Medical Center. You are asked to provide a podcast for undergraduate health informatics students that discusses how HI has evolved. Create a podcast that discusses the history and evolution of health informatics. In your discussion mention how simulations and evidence-based practice have been used to learn and to help make decisions.
