The Boston Culinary Institute is evaluating a classroom remodeling project. The cost of the remodel will be \(\$ 200,000\) and will be depreciated over five years using the straight-line method. The remodeled room will accommodate five extra students per year. Each student pays annual tuition of \(\$ 15,000\). The before-tax incremental cost of a student (e.g., the cost of food prepared and consumed by a student) is \(\$ 1,360\) per year. The company's tax rate is 40 percent, and the company requires a 12 -percent rate of return on the remodeling project.
