Income Tax Effects Kade Corporation is considering purchasing a new piece of equipment. The equipment will cost $135,000 and is expected to have a useful life of five years. The gross cash flow savings is estimated to be $50,000 per year. The company will depreciate the cost of the asset for tax purposes using a 5-year useful life, zero salvage value, and the straight-line method. The company is in the 40% tax bracket (including federal, state, and local taxes).

1,. Compute the after-tax cash flow savings on the asset.

2,. Compute the after-tax internal rate of return that will equate the present value of the savings with the net outlay cost.
