Big Sky Mining Company must install $1.5 million of new machinery in its Nevada mine. It can obtain a bank loan for 100% of the purchase price, or it can lease the machinery. Assume that the following facts apply:

1. The machinery falls into the MACRS 3-year class. (The depreciation rates for Year 1 through Year 4 are equal to 0.3333, 0.4445, 0.1481, and 0.0741.)
2. Under either the lease or the purchase, Big Sky must pay for insurance, property taxes, and maintenance.
3. The firm's tax rate is 25%.
4. The loan would have an interest rate of 12%. It would be non amortizing, with only interest paid at the end of each year for four years and the principal repaid at Year 4.
5. The lease terms call for $400,000 payments at the end of each of the next 4 years.
6. Big Sky Mining has no use for the machine beyond the expiration of the lease, and the machine has an estimated residual value of $200,000 at the end of the 4th year.

34. Yummy Jams Company produces a line of jams. Yummy's estimated production of jars of jam for the fourth quarter of the year is as follows:

​

​

Each jar requires half a pound of berries. Yummy prefers to buy the freshest berries, so its policy is to have just 3% of the following month's production needs in ending inventory. On October 1, the company had 1,125 pounds of berries in inventory. Yummy's pays $0.60 per pound of berries. It buys all berries on account and typically pays 40% of a month's purchases in that month, and the remaining 60% the following month. How much cash is paid in November for berry purchases (rounded to the nearest dollar)?
