ou work for a nuclear research laboratory that is contemplating leasing a diagnostic scanner (leasing is a very common practice with expensive, high-tech equipment). The scanner costs $4,800,000, and it would be depreciated straight-line to zero over four years. Because of radiation contamination, it actually will be completely valueless in four years. You can lease it for $1,430,000 per year for four years. Assume that the tax rate is 21 percent.

Suppose the entire $4,800,000 purchase price of the scanner is borrowed. The rate on the loan is 8 percent, and the loan will be repaid in equal annual installments.

Calculate the amount of annual loan repayment.
