The firm is looking to expand its operations by 10% of the firm's net property, plant, and equipment. (Calculate this amount by taking 10% of the property, plant, and equipment figure that appears on the firm's balance sheet.)

Apple Inc. currently has property and equipment as $33,766,000

The estimated life of this new property, plant, and equipment will be 12 years. The salvage value of the equipment will be 5% of the property, plant and equipment's cost. The annual EBIT for this new project will be 18% of the project's cost. The company will use the straight-line method to depreciate this equipment. Also assume that there will be no increases in net working capital each year. Use 35% as the tax rate in this project.

Required:

Calculations for the amount of property, plant, and equipment and the annual depreciation for the project

Calculations that convert the project's EBIT to free cash flow for the 12 years of the project.

Net present value

Internal rate of return

Discounted payback period
