Delta Electric Company expects to have an annual taxable income of $500,000 from its residential accounts over the next two years. The company is also bidding on a two-year wiring service job for a large apartment complex. This commercial service requires the purchase of a new truck equipped with wire-pulling tools at a cost of $50,000.
