Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations;

Cost of new laboratory equipment = $1,770,000

Borrowed capital = $849,600 ($1,770,000 * 48%)

Borrowing rate = 13.4%

Borrowing interest expense for the first year = $113,846

Depreciation = $362,000

Taxable income = $329,000

Gross savings = $X

$X = $804,846 ($113,846 + $362,000 + $329,000)

Income tax for the 1st year:

Marginal tax rate = 40%

Taxable income = $329,000

= $131,600 ($329,000 * 40%)

After-tax Cash Flows for the 1st year:

Gross savings =    $804,846

Interest expense      113,846

Depreciation          362,000

Taxable income  $329,000

Income tax              131,600

Net income          $197,400

Cash Flows:

Net income               $197,400

Depreciation             362,000

After-tax cash flow $559,400
