Joseph Spine DO wants to install a new large piece of Durable Medical Equipment in place of several smaller ones in his clinic. He will hire a therapist for the equipment and estimates incremental annual revenues and expenses below:

PRO-FORMA:

Revenues                           $10,000   

Less Variable Expenses       3,000

Contribution Margin              7,000

   Less Fixed Expenses

Insurance                             900

Salaries                              2,600

Depreciation                      1,500

5,000

NET INCOME:              $ 2,000

NOTE: Equipment parts are $15,000 for a 10-year life. The old machines sold for $1,000 salvage value. Dr. Spine requires a payback of 5 years or less.

QUERY: What is the pay-back period [dollars and years] and some key issues to consider?
