This is possible but you should at least check out your friend's track record and if there are investors who have been receiving 20% return anually, go ahead and invest. Don't invest.

Market Top Investors, Inc., is considering the purchase of a $365,000 computer with an economic life of four years. The computer will be fully depreciated over four years using the straight-line method, at which time it will be worth $114,000. The computer will replace two office employees whose combined annual salaries are $95,000. The machine will also immediately lower the firm’s required net working capital by $84,000. This amount of net working capital will need to be replaced once the machine is sold. The corporate tax rate is 24 percent. The appropriate discount rate is 9 percent.

2) You are evaluating two different aluminum milling machines. The Alumina I costs $240,000, has a three-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $63,000 per year. The Alumina II costs $420,000, has a five-year life, and has pretax operating costs of $36,000 per year. For both milling machines, use straight-line depreciation to zero over the project's life and assume a salvage value of $40,000. If your tax rate is 35 percent and your discount rate is 10 percent, which do you prefer? Why?
