It is expected to reduce net annual operating expenses by $56,000 per year for 10 years and to have a $41,000 MV at the end of the 10th year. Assume that the firm is in the federal taxable income bracket of $335,000 to $10,000,000 and that the state income tax rate is 7.5%. State income taxes are deductible from federal taxable income. This machinery is to be depreciated using the MACRS (GDS). Develop the BTCFs and ATCFs and compute for the respective PWs at EOY 0 using an MARR of 12%.

- Quigley Inc. is considering two financial plans for the coming year. Management expects sales to be $300,000, operating costs to be $265,000, assets (which is equal to its total invested capital) to be $200,000, and its tax rate to be 35%. Under Plan A it would finance the firm using 25% debt and 75% common equity. The interest rate on the debt would be 8.8%, but under a contract with existing bondholders the TIE ratio would have to be maintained at or above 5.5. Under Plan B, the maximum debt that met the TIE constraint would be employed. Assuming that sales, operating costs, assets, total invested capital, the interest rate, and the tax rate would all remain constant, by how much would the ROE change in response to the change in the capital structure?
