You were thinking of starting a company with investors.  If your new company would borrow $15,000,000 in a loan to purchase a machine, the interest rate was 3.5% annual (to be paid monthly) for 10 years?

 What would be the projected loan payments?

Now if the company was mandated by the government (or forced by a union) that they had to hire 4 more people at a salary and benefits of $62,800 per person per year or in other words, an extra $251,200 in payroll total per year in expenses or an extra $20,934 per month.  

Would you recommend going into business and purchasing the machine?  Why or why not?
