Novak Company would like to start a new venture. The company is currently in the 24%
marginal tax bracket and uses a 4% discount factor. The company projects that the venture
will produce before-tax cash flows of $9,000 in Year 0, $20,000 in Year 1, and $33,000 in Year
2.
(a)
If taxable income and the before-tax cash flows are equal in the year received, compute
the present value of the cash flows. (Round present value factor calculations to 3 decimal
places, e.g. 1.251 and final answer to O decimal places, e.g. 58,971.)
Present value
A firm with a 34% combined federal/state tax rate is considering purchasing equipment that falls in the 5-year MACRS property class.

Year 1: $8,0000
Year 2: $13,000
Year 3: $23,000
Year 4: $33,000
The firm expects to sell the equipment at the end of year 4 for 10% of the original purchase price. The bank rate for the company is 5% per year.
What is the most the company can spend on the equipment today?
