Reference no: EM13267750

Dylans Donuts is thinking of purchasing a piece of equipment. The new equipment would be expected to increase sales by $350,000 a year and increase operating expenses by $105,000 a year. The new equipment would cost $1,260,000 and be depreciated using straight-line to a zero salvage value over a depreciable life of 8 years. The equipment would require additional net working capital of $24,000. It is expected that Dylans Donuts could sell the equipment at the end of its expected life for $15,000. Dylans marginal tax rate is 30% and its required rate of return is 12%. Dylans has a minimum required payback of 3 years.
