General Utility Corp. is going to buy a new equipment that falls into the 4-year straight-line depreciation to $150,000. The equipment costs its current value of $800,000, its installation costs of $50,000, its shipping costs of $50,000, and its research costs of finalizing the equipment type of $100,000. This specific new equipment has been selected since it is expected to generate $400,000 revenue and to increase operating costs by $120,000 in each year for 4 years. The project still requires $80,000 in net working capital at the beginning of the project which will be recovered in the 4th year (the final year). The equipment can be sold in year 4 for $100,000. The firm's tax rate is 40% and its target cost of capital is 10%.
