You're pondering buying a new piece of equipment which costs $$80,000$ today. Its value will depreciate to zero evenly over $4$ years. In year $4,$ you are able to sell the equipment for $$15,000.$ You expect to generate $$5,000$ in accounts receivable and $$2,000$ of inventory today, which will remain constant until the fourth year when both accounts receivable and inventory decrease to zero. Additional costs associated with the labor, maintenance, space, and electrical needs of the equipment would be $$30,000$ in year $1$ and increase by $$5,000$ each year after. In years $1$ and $2,$ your revenue from the new operations will be $$60,000.$ In years $3$ and $4,$ revenue will be $$50,000.$ Assuming a tax rate of $40\%$ and a discount rate of $7\%,$ what is the NPV of buying the equipment? Should you accept the project?
