ohn Doe, Inc. is considering an investment in a new distribution center. John Does CFO anticipated additional earnings before interest and taxes of $100,000 for the first year of operation of the center, and, over the next five years, the firm estimates that this amount will grow at a rate of 5% per year. The distribution center will require an initial investment of $600,000 that will be depreciated over a five-year period toward a zero salvage value using straight-line depreciation. It is estimated that the distribution center will need operating net working capital equal to 25% of EBIT to support operation. At the end of the 5th year, John Doe, Inc. will sell the distribution center for an estimated amount of $10,000. John Doe's WACC is 19% and it faces a 30% tax rate.
