Chapter 11: You have been asked by the president of your company to evaluate the proposed acquisition of a new special-purpose truck.
• The truck’s basic price is $50,000, and it will cost another $10,000 to modify it for special use by your firm, and is purchased in year zero.
• The truck falls into the MACRS five-year class (MACRS rates are: 20%, 32%, 19%, 12%, 11%, 6%), and will be sold at the end of year two for $40,000. Depreciation starts in year 1.
• Use of the truck will require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $2,000 in year zero. When you sell the truck, you will no longer need the spare parts, so the inventory level can drop at the end of year 2.
• The truck will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $20,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor.
• The firm’s marginal tax rate is 40%.
• The firm’s capital structure is 50% debt & 50% equity. They calculate their WACC to be 9.0% using the following inputs: before-tax cost of debt-10%, cost of equity-12%, expected market return-12%, risk-free rate-4%, beta-1.0.
