Capital budgeting decision on new branch

• Initial cost of building and equipment is $1 million
• Expected to have a useful life of 20 years
• At the end of the project the building and its equipment are expected to be sold for a $200,000 salvage value
• The building and its equipment will be depreciated over their 20-year life using straight-line depreciation to a zero balance
• The building is to be constructed on land leased for $23,000 per year
• Net working capital must be increased by $110,000
• Annual revenues from the new branch will be $400,000
• Of this $400,000 in revenues, $50,000 will be drawn away from the bank's main office
• The new branch will incur about $130,000 per year in other expenses
• Both expenses and revenues are expected to remain approximately constant over the branch's 20-year life
• Marginal tax rate is 40%
• Cost of capital 9%
