Question

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.79 million. The fixed asset falls into the three-year MACRS class. The project is estimated to generate $2,110,000 in annual sales, with costs of $799,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $330,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $225,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the project's year 1 net cash flow? Year 2? Year 3? Table 8.3. (Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567). Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Cash Flow $ -3,120,000.0 $ 1,311,000 Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 If the required return is 12 percent, what is the project's NPV? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567). Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Explanation / Answer

Year 0 Cash Flow = -Initial Investment in Fixed Asset - Initial Investment in Working Capital

Year 0 Cash Flow = -2790000-330000

Year 0 Cash Flow = - 3,120,000

Year 1 Cash Flow = (Annual Sales - Cost)*(1-tax rate) + Depreciation *tax rate

Year 1 Cash Flow = (2110000-799000)*(1-35%) + 2790000*0.3333*35%

Year 1 Cash Flow = 1,177,617.45

Year 2 Cash Flow = (Annual Sales - Cost)*(1-tax rate) + Depreciation *tax rate

Year 2 Cash Flow = (2110000-799000)*(1-35%) + 2790000*0.4445*35%

Year 2 Cash Flow = 1,286,204.25

Year 3 Cash Flow = (Annual Sales - Cost)*(1-tax rate) + Depreciation *tax rate + Working Capital realised + Post tax salavge Value

Year 3 Cash Flow = (2110000-799000)*(1-35%) + 2790000*0.1481*35% + 330000+ (225000 - 35%*(225000 - 2790000*0.0741)

Year 3 Cash Flow = 1,545,378.30

NPV = -Year 0 Cash Flow + Year 1 Cash Flow /(1+r) +  Year 2 Cash Flow /(1+r)^2 +  Year 3 Cash Flow /(1+r)^3

NPV = -3120000+ 1,177,617.45/1.12 +  1,286,204.25/1.12^2 +  1,545,378.30/1.12^3

NPV = $ 56768.05
