2. (30 Marks) BC Power has just purchased a $0.5 million turbine. The turbine will allow it to produce 10 000 kilowatt hours (KWH) of electricity per day for twenty years. Afterwards the turbine's scrap value is expected to be negligible. Current price of electricity is $0.06/KWH. Operating costs of the turbine are $100 000 per year. Now BC Power pays a 40% corporate tax rate on its annual income. Depending on the outcome of the provincial elections, it is expected that the tax rate can either increase by 10% or decrease by 10%. a Given this information and assuming a 5% annual interest rate and a 20% CCA rate, perform a sensitivity analysis on the company's after-tax profit in the turbine's first year of operation with respect to the expected changes in the corporate tax rate.
