128) Shanks Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that involves investing
$600,000 in equipment that would have a useful life of 3 years and zero salvage value. The
company would also need to invest $20,000 immediately in working capital which would be
released for use elsewhere at the end of the project in 3 years. The net annual operating cash
inflow, which is the difference between the incremental sales revenue and incremental cash
operating expenses, would be $300,000 per year. The project would require a one-time
renovation expense of $60,000 at the end of year 2. The company uses straight-line depreciation
and the depreciation expense on the equipment would be $200,000 per year. Assume cash flows
occur at the end of the year except for the initial investments. The company takes income taxes
into account in its capital budgeting. The income tax rate is 35%. The after-tax discount rate is
15%.
