Diamond Cruise lines is considering buying a cruise ship from a soon to be insolvent competitor. The following information is available (all amounts in $millions):

  1. The investment will generate a pre-tax profit of $50 per year over 5 years. Costs for depreciation are included in the pre-tax profit.

  3. The tax rate is 30%, and the CCA rate on the ship is 15%
  4. $10 in items related to working capital needs to be on-hand at all times.
