Question
Keiper, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.49 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $2,010,000 in annual sales, with costs of $705,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $230,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $295,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the project’s year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? (Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)
If the required return is 16 percent, what is the project's NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
Years Cash Flow Year 0 $ Year 1 $ Year 2 $ Year 3 $Explanation / Answer
Depreciation = 2490000/3 = 830000
Savings in Depreciation = 830000*34% = 282200
Year 0 Cash Outflow = 2490000+230000
=- 2720000
Cash Inflow = Revenue- Cost = 2010000-705000 = 1305000
CAsh Flow aftertax = 1305000(1-.34) = 861300
Cash Flow Year 1 = 861300+282200 = $ 1143500
Year 2 = 1143500
Year 3 = 1143500+295000*66% = 1143500+194700 = $ 1338200
NPV = 1143500/(1+.16)1+1143500/(1+.16)2+(1338200)/(1+.16)3-2720000
= 1143500*.862+1143500*.743+1338200*.640-2720000
= 985697+849621+856448-2720000
= 2691766-2720000
NPV= - $ 28234
