This project will require an investment of $20,000 in new equipment. Under the new tax law, the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus deprecation at
t=0, so it will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project's four-year life.
McFann pays a constant tax rate of 25%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. Determine what the project's net present
value (NPV) would be under the new tax law.
