Question

Consider a project to supply Detroit with 25,000 tons of machine screws annually for automobile production. You will need an initial $2,200,000 investment in threading equipment to get the project started; the project will last for five years. The accounting department estimates that annual fixed costs will be $700,000 and that variable costs should be $400 per ton; accounting will depreciate the initial fixed asset investment straight-line to zero over the five-year project life. It also estimates a salvage value of $300,000 after dismantling costs. The marketing department estimates that the automakers will let the contract at a selling price of $480 per ton. The engineering department estimates you will need an initial net working capital investment of $220,000. You require a 15 percent return and face a marginal tax rate of 38 percent on this project.

What is the estimated OCF for this project?

What is the estimated NPV for this project? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Suppose you believe that the accounting department
