11) Nakama Corporation is considering investing in a project that would have a 4 year expected
useful life. The company would need to invest $280,000 in equipment that will have zero salvage
value at the end of the project. Annual incremental sales would be $640,000 and annual cash
operating expenses would be $480,000. In year 3 the company would have to incur one-time
renovation expenses of $50,000. Working capital in the amount of $20,000 would be required.
The working capital would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The company
uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. The company's tax rate is 30%.

149) Roemen Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require investing
$160,000 in equipment with a 4 year useful life and zero salvage value. Annual incremental sales
would be $410,000 and annual incremental cash operating expenses would be $280,000. An
investment of $20,000 in working capital would be required immediately and would be released
for use elsewhere at the end of the project. The company uses straight-line depreciation on all
equipment. 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 company's tax rate is 30%
and the after-tax discount rate is 12%.
