Consider the following proposed capital investment in an engineering project and determine its

a. year-by-year ATCF,

b. after-tax AW,

c. annual equivalent EVA.

Assume MACRS depreciation is appropriate with a property class of three years.

Proposed capital investment = $85000

Salvage value (end of year four) = $0

Annual expenses per year = $26,000

Gross revenues per year = $60000

Useful life = 4 years

Effective income tax rate (t) = 45%

After-tax MARR (i) = 15% per year

The after-tax AW

The annual equivalent worth of the ATCFs is equals  

The annual equivalent EVA.  The after-tax annual worth and the annual equivalent worth of EVA of the project are identical.

therefore, the EVA = 1510
