Question

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of S2.88 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life. The project is estimated to generate $2, 140,000 in annual sales, with costs of $835,000. The tax rate is 35 percent and the required return is 10 percent. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $360,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $240,000 at the end of the project. What is the project's Year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.) What is the NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Explanation / Answer

1.

Cost of fixed asset = $2,880,000

Annual depreciation on fixed asset = Cost of fixed asset / Useful life = $2,880,000/3 years = $960,000

Sale price of fixed asset = $240,000

Tax on sale of fixed asset = $240,000 * 0.35 = $84,000

Net sale proceeds after tax = $240,000 - $84,000 = $156,000
