Question

12)DataPoint Engineering is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $340,000. It has an eight-year midpoint of its asset depreciation range (ADR). It will require an additional initial investment of $160,000 in nondepreciable working capital. Sixty thousand dollars of this investment will be recovered after the sixth year and will provide additional cash flow for that year. Income before depreciation and taxes for the next six are shown in the following table. Use Table 12–11, Table 12–12. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
 YearAmount1$ 215,000 2  180,000 3  150,000 4  135,000 5  105,000 6  95,000 
 The tax rate is 30 percent. The cost of capital must be computed based on the following:
   Cost
(aftertax)Weights  DebtK_d 11.30% 25%  Preferred stockK_p 12.20  10   Common equity
  (retained earnings)K_e 17.00  65
