Problem 2 A firm has invested $250,000 in car-washing equipment. They will depreciate the equipment by sum-of years-digits depreciation (SOYD), assuming a $50,000 salvage value at the end of the 5-year useful life. The firm is expected to have a before-tax cash flow, after meeting all expenses of operation (except depreciation), of $90,000 per year. The firm's combined corporate tax rate is 30%. If the projected income is correct, the equipment can be sold for $50,000 at the end of 5 years. Complete the table below and determine what after-tax rate of return (ROR) would the corporation receive from this venture?
