This project will initially require a $28,000 investment in equipment and a $3,000 working capital investment. The useful life of this project is 5 years with an expected salvage value of zero on the equipment. The working capital will be released at the end of the 5 years. The new system is expected to generate net cash inflows of $9,000 per year in each of the 5 years. Nevus' discount rate is 14%. The net present value of this project is

Explanation / Answer

     ={($9000*3.433)+($3000*.519) - $31000}

     =($30897+$1557) - $31000

     = $32454-$31000
