Explanation / Answer

(i) Initial set up cost = $7.97 Million

Annual cash inflows = $4.56 Million

Time = 3 years

Discount rate = 8.1%

PVAF(8.1%, 3 ) = 2.573

Present value of cash inflows = Annual cash inflows x PVAF(8.1% , 3 )

= 4.56 x 2.573

= $11.73 million

NPV = Present value of cash inflows - Initial investment

= 11.73 - 7.97

= $3.76 million

(ii) By accepting the contract, value of the firm will increase by $3.76 million.
