Your company will generate $50,000 in cash flow each year for the

next nine years from a new information database. The computer system needed to set up the database costs $300,000. If you can borrow the money to buy the computer system at 8.25% annual interest, can you afford the system?

.0825*300,000*9 = 222,750 in interest payments

interest + capital payments = 300,000+222,750 = 522,750 total cost
income = 50,000*9 = 450,000
oh well, use the slide rule :(
