When the project concludes in four years the working capital will be released for investment elsewhere within the company.

Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.

Required:

Calculate the net present value of this investment opportunity.

Cost of equipment needed $ 270,000 Working capital needed $ 90,000 Overhaul of the equipment in year two $ 9,000 Salvage value of the equipment in four years $ 14,500 Annual revenues and costs: Sales revenues $ 450,000 Variable expenses $ 220,000 Fixed out-of-pocket operating costs $ 90,000

Explanation / Answer

Net present value = Present value of cash inflow-Present value of cash outflow

= (140000*2.69+14500*0.516+90000*.516)-(270000+90000+9000*0.718)

Net present value = 64060
