Decision to get into venture for after tax cost of capital


John Livingston is looking into the possibility of buying several coin-operated vending machines and placing them in the local hospitals. Each machine costs $2000, which he will depreciate on a straight-line basis over 8 years. The machine will dispense Coke cans at 75 cents each and Coca Cola Company will replenish them at 40 cents each. Each machine is expected to sell 1500 cans a month. The hospitals will provide the space and electricity for the machines for $200 a month at the end of every month. The tax rate of John Livingston is 25% and the after tax cost of capital 12%. Assume that the income and bills occur at the end of each month, but the taxes are paid annually. Should John Livingston get into this venture?
