145) Vore Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that involves investing
$570,000 in equipment that would have a useful life of 3 years and zero salvage value. The net
annual operating cash inflow, which is the difference between the incremental sales revenue and
incremental cash operating expenses, would be $280,000 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 $190,000 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 30%. The after-
tax discount rate is 8%.
