Maddux, inc is planning to purchase equipment worth $400,000. Delivery and setup costs will amount to $20,000. In addition, $25,000 in net working capital will be required at installation. The equipment will have a 5 years class life and will be depreciated using simplified straight line. Maddux has a marginal tax rate of 34 percent and a cost of capital of 12 percent.
