depreciation, and $1,300 of depreciation. The company had no amortization charges, it had $5,000 of
bonds that carry a 6.5% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 35%. This year’s
data are expected to remain unchanged except for one item, depreciation, which is expected to increase
by $750. By how much will net after-tax income change as a result of the change in depreciation? The
