The asset should be purchased because NPV is positive.
30. Working capital requirements in capital budgeting (LO12-4) The Spartan Technology
Company has a proposed contract with the Digital Systems Company of Michigan. The initial
investment in land and equipment will be $120,000. Of this amount, $70,000 is subject to
five-year MACRS depreciation. The balance is in nondepreciable property. The contract covers
six years; at the end of six years, the nondepreciable assets will be sold for $50,000. The
depreciated assets will have zero resale value.
The contract will require an additional investment of $55,000 in working capital at the
beginning of the first year and, of this amount, $25,000 will be returned to the Spartan
Technology Company after six years.
The investment will produce $50,000 in income before depreciation and taxes for each of
the six years. The corporation is in a 40 percent tax bracket and has a 10 percent cost of capital.
Should the investment be undertaken? Use the net present value method.
12-30. Solution:
Spartan Technology Company
Although there are some complicated features to this problem,
we are still comparing the present value of cash flows to the
total initial investment.
The initial investment is:
In computing the present value of the cash flows, we first

Chapter 12: The Capital Budgeting Decision
31. Tax losses and gains in capital budgeting (LO12-2) An asset was purchased three years
ago for $120,000. It falls into the five-year category for MACRS depreciation. The firm is
in a 35 percent tax bracket. Compute the following:
a. Tax loss on the sale and the related tax benefit if the asset is sold now for $15,060.
b. Gain and related tax on the sale if the asset is sold now for $56,060. (Refer to footnote 4 in
the chapter.)
12-31. Solution:
First determine the book value of the asset.

32. Capital budgeting with cost of capital computation (LO12-5) DataPoint Engineering is
considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $240,000. It has an eight-year
midpoint of its asset depreciation range (ADR). It will require an additional initial
investment of $140,000 in nondepreciable working capital. Thirty-five thousand dollars of
this investment will be recovered after the sixth year and will provide additional cash flow
for that year. Here is the projected income before depreciation and taxes for the next six
years:
Year Amount
1...................... $185,000
2...................... 160,000
3...................... 130,000
4...................... 115,000
5...................... 95,000
6..................... 85,000
The tax rate is 40 percent. The cost of capital must be computed based on
the following (round the final value to the nearest whole number):
Cost (aftertax) Weights
Debt............................................................ Kd 9.5% 25%
Preferred stock............................................ Kp13.2 25
Common equity (retained earnings)........... Ke18.0 50

33. Replacement decision analysis (LO12-4) Hercules Exercise Equipment Co. purchased a
computerized measuring device two years ago for $58,000. The equipment falls into the
five-year category for MACRS depreciation and can currently be sold for $24,800.
A new piece of equipment will cost $148,000. It also falls into the five-year category
for MACRS depreciation.
Assume the new equipment would provide the following stream of added cost savings
for the next six years.
Year Cash Savings
1............ $62,000
2............ 54,000
3............ 52,000
4............ 50,000
5............ 47,000
6............ 36,000
The firm’s tax rate is 35 percent and the cost of capital is 12 percent.
