Brian's Auto is looking at making an investment of $$784,000$ in new machinery They expect to generate the following Eamings Before Amortization and Taxes as well as the following positive, after$-$tax cash flows:

$\backslash$table$[[$Year$,$Fs belore amortivation,Cash flows$],[($after tax$)],[$Year$,$s before amortization,cash flows$],[($after tax$)],[1,$$$174,000,5156,667],[2,253,000,204,067],[3,173,000,155,067],[4,274,000,215,657],[5,259,000,207,657],[6,269,000,213,657]]$

$($a$)$ Compute the Average Accounting Return assuming the asset will be fully depreciated over the six$-$year time period, using straight$-$line depreciation, and Brian's Auto has a $40$ percent tax rate. $($Round your answer to two decimal places $($E$.g\mathrm{.}12\mathrm{.}3496)$

$($b$)$ Compute the payback period in vears, and the internal rate of return for the project

$($c$)$ Compute net present value of the project if WACc is $12$ percent.

$($d$)$ Should the project be undertaken, and why?
