Question

Archer Daniels Midland Company is considering buying a new farm that it plans to operate for 10 years. The farm will require an initial investment of $12.20 million. This investment will consist of $2.20 million for land and $10.00 million for trucks and other equipment. The land, all trucks, and all other equipment is expected to be sold at the end of 10 years at a price of $5.24 million, $2.40 million above book value. The farm is expected to produce revenue of $2.05 million each year, and annual cash flow from operations equals $1.89 million. The marginal tax rate is 35 percent, and the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent. Calculate the NPV of this investment. (Round intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

Explanation / Answer

Annual cash flow from operation = 1.89 million

Post tAx salvage Value = 5.24-2.40*35% = $4.4

NPV = 1.89PVIFA(10%,10) +4.4PVIF(10%,10) - 12.20

=1.10962230 Million or $1,109,622.30

Since the npv is positive the project should be accepted
