You have a company that provides teaching for college students. Currently, it only provides these services for Japanese classess; however, you are thinking of starting the teaching service for this finance class. After a long market study which you spent $5,000 to conduct, you figured out that your company will experience increase in annual revenues by $50,000. Since you have to hire new teachers, the annual cost will also increase by $10,000.

The old equipment you have for the teacher has a $6,000 market value if sold today, which is fully depreciated to a book value of $10,000. The new, high-tech equipment will cost you $100,000. Additionally, you will pay shipping fees of $10,000. The new equipment will be depreciated via 5-year MACRS schedule (20.0%, 32.0%, 19.2%, 11.5%, 11.5%, 5.8%). The estimated realized salvage value of the new equipment is $20,000. If the firm buys the new equipment, you will need to invest $30,000 in working capital which will be fully recovered at the end of the project. You have a 10% cost of capital and a tax rate of 40%.
