Question

Summer Tyme, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $3.9 million. The fixed asset falls into the 3-year MACRS class (MACRS Table) and will have a market value of $302,400 after 3 years. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $432,000. The project is estimated to generate $3,456,000 in annual sales, with costs of $1,382,400. The tax rate is 32 percent and the required return on the project is 15 percent. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

Required:
(a) What is the project's year 0 net cash flow?


(b) What is the project's year 1 net cash flow?


(c) What is the project's year 2 net cash flow?


(d) What is the project's year 3 net cash flow?


(e) What is the NPV?

Explanation / Answer

Net cash flow in Year 0: fixed asset investment + net working capital investment - 3,900,000 - 300,000 = - 4,200,000 Years 1 and 2: (sales - cost of sales)*(1-T) + depreciation tax gains (annual depreciation*(1-T)) (2,650,000 - 840,000)*(1-0.35) + (3,900,000/3)*(1-0.35) = 1,810,000*0.65 + 1,300,000*0.65 = $2,012,500 Year 3: (sales - cost of sales)*(1-T) + depreciation tax gains (annual depreciation*(1-T)) + after tax scrap value of investment + reversal of net working capital (2,650,000 - 840,000)*(1-0.35) + (3,900,000/3)*(1-0.35) + (210,000 - 0)*(1-0.35) + 300,000 = 1,810,000*0.65 + 1,300,000*0.65 + 210,000*0.65 + 300,000 = $2,458,000 NPV = -4,200,000 + 2,012,500/(1.12) + 2,012,500/(1.12)^2 + 2,458,000/(1.12)^3 = $950,783.53
