Charlene is evaluating a capital budgeting project that should last for 4 years. The project requires $550,000 of equipment and is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation. She is unsure whether immediately expensing the equipment or using straight-line depreciation is better for the analysis. Under straight-line depreciation, the cost of equipment would be depreciated evenly over its 4-year life (ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method). The company's WACC is 9%, and its tax rate is 25% a. What would the depreciation expense be each year under each method? Enter your answers as positive values. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. b. Which depreciation method would produce the higher NPV? How much higher would the NPV be under the preferred method? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $
