DataPoint Engineering is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $255,000. It has an eight-year midpoint of its asset depreciation range (ADR). It will require an additional initial investment of $250,000 in nondepreciable working capital. $82,000 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 1211, Table 12-12. Use Appendix B for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Amount Year 1 2 3 3 4 4 5 6 $242,000 198,000 168,000 153,000 114,000 104,000 The tax rate is 25 percent. The cost of capital must be computed based on the following: Debt Preferred stock Common equity (retained earnings) Kd Cost (aftertax) 6.40% 10.50 15.00 Weights 30% 10 60 a. Determine the annual depreciation schedule. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your depreciation base and annual depreciation answers to the nearest whole dollar. Round your percentage depreciation answers to 3 decimal places.) Year 1 2 Answer is complete and correct.

Determine the annual cash flow for each year. Be sure to include the recovered working capital in Year 6. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Answer is complete and correct. Year Cash Flow 1 $ 194,250 168,900 2 3 4 138,240 122.081 92,831 5 6 163,698 c. Determine the weighted average cost of capital. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Answer is complete and correct. Weighted average cost of capital 11.97% d-1. Determine the net present value. (Use the WACC from part c rounded to 2 decimal places as a percent as the cost of capital (e.g., 12.34%). Do not round any other intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Net present value $ 231,620.32 d-2. Should DataPoint purchase the new equipment? Yes
