Question

Keiper, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.67 million. The fixed asset falls into the three-year MACRS class. The project is estimated to generate $2,070,000 in annual sales, with costs of $767,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $290,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $265,000 at the end of the project.

If the tax rate is 34 percent, what is the project's year 1 net cash flow? Year 2? Year 3? (Use MACRS) (Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 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)) If the required return is 13 percent, what is the project's NPV? (Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, i.e. 1,234,567.

Explanation / Answer

year 1 depriciation = 2670000 * 0.3333 = 889911


year 2 depriciation = 2670000 * 0.4445 = 1186815


year 3 depriciation = 2670000 * 0.1481 = 395427


book value in 3 years = 2670000 - 2472153 = 197847


after tax salvage value = 265000 + (197847 - 265000)*0.34 = 242167.98



year 0 cash flow = -2670000 - 290000 = -2960000


year 1 cash flow = 1303000 * 0.66 + 0.34 * 889911 = 1162549.74


year 2 cash flow = 1303000 * 0.66 + 0.34 * 1186815 = 1263497.10


year 3 cash flow = 1303000 * 0.66 + 0.34 * 395427 + 242167.98 + 290000 = 1526593.16



NPV = -2960000 + 1162549.74/1.13 + 1263497.10/1.13^2 + 1526593.16/1.13^3


= 116314.17
