Question

Corporation VB was formed in 2018. Immediately prior to year end, VB is considering a $500,000 deductible expenditure. It can either make the expenditure before the end of 2018, or wait until 2019. However, if it waits the cost of the expenditure will increase to $525,000. Before considering this expenditure, VB has the following projected pre-tax cash flows and taxable income for 2018, 2019, and 2020.

a.Using a 5 percent discount rate, compute the NPV of VB's after-tax cashflows if the expenditure is in 2018.

b.Using a 5 percent discount rate, compute the NPV of VB's after-tax cashflows if the expenditure is in 2019.
