I'm currently trying to calculate my first year initial costs and was wondering if I had a machine could I spread the cost of that machine over multiple years? I have to buy the machine out right so I'll need the investment from the beginning. I'm wondering if I can make it so that part of the monthly revenue goes into recouping that large beginning cost.

Example:

The machine costs $15,000 and I have to pay for it on day one. I want to break that cost down over 24 months so it appears on the 1 year projections as a $7500 cost. Is this possible/legal to show it to investors this way?
