Your firm is considering a project that would require purchasing $ 7.4 million worth of new equipment. Determine the present value of the depreciation tax shield associated with this equipment if the firm's tax rate is 31 %, the appropriate cost of capital is 10 %, and the equipment can be depreciated: a. Straight-line over a ten-year period, with the first deduction starting in one year. b. Straight-line over a five-year period, with the first deduction starting in one year. c. Fully as an immediate deduction.

Questions: a. Straight-line over a ten-year period, with the first deduction starting in one year. The present value of the depreciation tax shield associated with this equipment is $ ***million.
