A firm must decide between two silicon layer chip designs from Intel. Their effective income tax rate is 18%, and MACRS depreciation is used. If the desired after-tax return on investment is 11% per year, which design should be chosen? Design A Design B $1,030,000 $2,100,000 Capital investment MV at end of useful life $910,000 $1,100,000 Annual revenues less expenses $230,000 $410,000 MACRS property class 5 years 5 years Useful life 7 years 6 years *** Calculate the AW value for the Design A. AWA(11%) = $ (Round to the nearest dollar.). Calculate the AW value for the Design B. AWB (11%) = $(Round to the nearest dollar) Ro Based on the AW values, should be chosen. M
