WP Corp plans to take up a project that will cost $150,000 of investment in Building and $80,000 in new machinery. WP has already spent $8000 on research and analysis about the products that will be developed in this unit.

By taking up this project, WP estimates additional cash flows of $85000 per annum for the next five years.

COGS are expected to be 40% of the revenues, SG&A will be 4% of the revenues.

This project will require an additional inventory of $60,000 and an increase in payables by $25000

Tax Rate is 20%

The target Debt: Equity is 1:4

Cost of new debt: 6%

Cost of Equity: Need to calculate using the beta of 0.9, Rf of 4%, and market risk premium of 6%

The equipment that would be used has a 3-year tax life. Under the new tax law, the equipment used in the project is eligible for 100% bonus depreciation, so it will be fully depreciated at t = 0.

The Salvage value of Building and Machinery after 5 years is $100,000.
