The assets will be depreciated on a straight-line basis, over four years, and have no expected salvage value. The annual income statement for the center is given below.

Revenues	$390,000
Less: Cash operating expenses	(156,000)
Depreciation	(106,000)
Income before income taxes	$128,000
Less: Income taxes (@40%)	51,200
Net income	$76,800
