Watkins Construction and Engineering won a bid with the Growth and Environmental Management Department that will generate them $15,000 revenue/per year over the next three years. The project requires an acquisition of a new earth mover. The mover's basic price is $40,000; it would cost another $10,000 to modify it for special use. The equipment falls in the 3-year MACRS class (33%, 45%, 15%, 7%) and will be sold after three years for $20,000. Tax rate is 40%. The earth mover will also save the firm $20,000 per year in before-tax costs. The project will also require an upfront investment of $2,000 in NOWC with 100% recovery of it at the end of the project. The market value of Watkins' debt is $200 million and the total market value of equity is $800 million. The risk free rate, market risk premium and beta are 2%, 8% and 1.5 respectively. The cost of debt is 5%. Should Watkins accept this project? Why?
