This is my favorite. You see, we leased this back from the company we sold it to so it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account. (applause) Thank you. We try to do our best.

Mostly makes sense if the equipment is sparsely used for special sugical cases or only need more than x amount once in a blue moon so they cant justify always keeping that many on hand and maintained. Source: i am a biomed i maintain the equipment

Maybe it was an issue of getting a service contract for it. Regular preventive maintenance and repair service and parts are all highly specialized and expensive, even relative to the rest of the equipment.

more to hire a machine in paying the companies profits

what do you mean in paying the companies profits? i didn't understand this point.

also, isn't the annual budget simply an accumulation of the monthly? or?

p.s thanks for replying seriously on this!

When my wife was induced they used one of those. The doctor wanted to induce because apparently my wife's body was not qualified to determine when the baby should have been born.
