The company uses straight-line depreciation and the depreciation expense on the equipment would be $220,000 per year. Assume cash flows occur at the end of the year except for the initial investments. The company takes income taxes into account in its capital budgeting. The income tax rate is 30%. The after-tax discount rate is 6%. Required:Determine the net present value of the project. Show your work!
