Question

Cochrane, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $1,680,000. The fixed asset falls into the three-year MACRS class (MACRS Table). The project is estimated to generate $1,950,000 in annual sales, with costs of $1,060,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $150,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $175,000 at the end of the project. Assume that the tax rate is 34 percent and the required return on the project is 14 percent.

Requirement 1: What is the net cash flow of the project for the following years?

Explanation / Answer

inital investment = 1680000 + 150000 = 18300000

depriciation per year = 1680000/3 = 560000

cash flow per year = (1950000 - 1060000 - 560000) * (1-0.34) + 560000

= 777800

terminal cash flow = 175000 * (1-0.34) = 115500
