Seaworthy Corporation is considering the purchase of a new ocean-going vessel that could potentially reduce labor costs of its operation by a considerable margin. The new ship would cost $500,000 and would be fully depreciated by the straight-line method over 10 years. At the end of 10 years, the ship will have no value and will be scuttled. Seaworthy Company’s cost of capital is 12 percent, and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
