- the to be In 2 years, XYZ is considering buying a new, high efficiency interception system. The new system would be purchased today for $46,500.00. It would be depreciated straight-line to $0 over 2 years. system would be sold for an after-tax cash flow of $14,700.00. Without the system, costs are expected to be $100,000.00 in 1 year and $100,000.00 in 2 years. With the system, $79,700.00 in 1 year and $67,000.00 in 2 years. If the tax rate is 48.30% and the cost of capital is 8.30%, what is the net present value of the new interception system project? costs are expected O $13344.34 (plus or minus $50) O $14279.01 (plus or minus $50) O $10213.60 (plus or minus $50) O $11718.49 (plus or minus $50) None of the above is within $50 of the correct answerarrow_forwardCecil company is considering the of a new machine.
