Problem on leasing

Johnathan Lewis is looking into the possibility of buying several coin-operated vending machines and put them in local hospitals. Each machine costs $2000, that he will depreciate on a straight-line basis over 8 years. The machine will dispense soft-drink cans at 75 cents each and XYZ Company will replenish them at 40 cents each. Each machine is expected to sell 1500 cans a month. The hospitals will give the space and electricity for the machines for $200 a month at the end of every month. The tax rate of Johnathan Lewis is 25% and after tax cost of capital 12%. Suppose that the income and bills take place at the end of each month, though the taxes are paid annually. Should Johnathan Lewis get into this venture?

Verified

Profit over Coke cans = 1500*(75-40) = 52,500/100 = $525

Annual Profit = 525*12 = $6300

Profit after tax = 6300*.75 = 4725
