Question

Yeatman Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs:

The project will require an investment of $25,000 in new equipment but no investment is needed in its net operating working capital. The equipment will have a salvage value of $2,000 at the end of the project's 4-year life. Yeatman pays a constant tax rate of 40%, and the MACRS Depreciation is used.

What is the project's NPV if the WACC is 11%? Make sure you include FCF0 in your calculation.
