Assume that the user cost of capital (C)is simply
$$C = \frac { ( r + \delta ) } { ( 1 - \Theta ) ( 1 - t ) }$$ where r is the after tax rate of return,δ is the depreciation rate,Θ is the corporate tax rate and,r is the individual tax rate.Now assume further that the after-tax rate of return is 10 percent and the economic depreciation rate is 2 percent.The firm faces corporate taxes of 35 percent with an individual tax rate of 25 percent.What is the user cost of capital in this case?
