Question

Finance

Salvage Co. 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 P500,000 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 sunk in some already polluted harbor. The Salvage Co.'s cost of capital is 12 percent, and its marginal tax rate is 40 percent. If the ship produces equal annual labor cost savings over its 10-year life, what is the profitability index of the of the project should IRR be equal to the cost of capital?
