Question

Kolbys Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $924,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the projects seven-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $109,000. The sausage system will save the firm $197,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $55,000.

If the tax rate is 30 percent and the discount rate is 6 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Explanation / Answer

Kolbys Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $924,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the projects seven-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $109,000. The sausage system will save the firm $197,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $55,000.


If the tax rate is 30 percent and the discount rate is 6 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)




Total Initial Investment = 924000 + 55000 = $979000

After tax operating cash flow each year = 197000*(1-0.30) + 924000/7 * 0.30 = $ 177500


Terminal Value = After tax salvae Value + Working Capital Realised Back

Terminal Vslue = 109000*0.7 + 55000

Terminal Value = 131300


NPV = -pv(6%,7,177500,131300) - 979000

NPV = $ 99194.70
