Zoso is a rental car company that is trying to determine whether to add 28 cars to its fleet. The company fully depreciates all its rental cars over five years using the straight-line method. The new cars are expected to generate $150,000 per year in earnings before taxes and depreciation for five years. The company is entirely financed by equity and has a 32 percent tax rate. The required return on the company's unlevered equity is 13.5 percent, and the new fleet will not change the risk of the company.
