Question:
You are analyzing the purchase of new equipment. Since you are not an expert in this type of equipment, you hire a consulting firm to make recommendations. The consultant charged him $1,500 and recommended the purchase of the latest model from Equipment Corp. of America. The equipment costs $80,000 and it will cost another $10,000 to modify it for your company's special use. The equipment will depreciate in a straight line over six years with no salvage value. You expect the equipment to sell after three years for $28,000. The use of the equipment will require an increase in your company's net working capital of $4,000, but this $4,000 will be recouped at the end of the third year. The use of the equipment will have no effect on revenue, but the company is expected to save $50,000 per year in operating costs before taxes. Your company's marginal tax rate is 35%.
