Erma's Beauty Supply, Inc. is considering expanding the company's existing store. Erma's wants to lease
the office space next door. Erma's must spend $140,000 on new equipment to expand. The equipment is
expected to have a zero-salvage value and an 8-year useful life. Erma's believes that the equipment will be
worthless at the end of its 8-year life. Erma's believes it will have to increase net working capital by $15,000;
this amount will be recovered at the end of 8 years. Last month, Erma's spent $18,000 to conduct a survey
of potential new customers in the area surrounding the current store to see if there was sufficient demand
for a larger store. Erma's estimates that net revenue will increase by $135,000 per year in the new store for
eight years. The direct expenses incurred to make those sales are $75,000, including rent. The lease Erma's
is considering signing is for 8 years. Erma's Beauty Supply has a marginal tax rate of 40% and has a
weighted average cost of capital of 10.0%.
