Greer Law Associates is evaluating a capital investment proposal for new office equipment for the current year. The initial investment would require the firm to spend $50,000. The equipment would be depreciated on a straight- line basis over five years with no salvage value. The firm's accountant has estimated the before-tax annual cash inflow from the investment to bee $15,000. The income tax rate is 40 percent, and all taxes are paid in the year that the related cash flows occur. The desired after-tax rate of return is 15 percent. All cash flows occur at year's end. What is the net value of the capital investment proposal? Should the proposal be accepted? Why or why not?
