Question

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.82 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life. The project is estimated to generate $2,120,000 in annual sales, with costs of $815,000. The tax rate is 30 percent and the required return is 12 percent. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $340,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $230,000 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. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

What is the NPV?

Explanation / Answer

Calculation of Cash Flows and NPV:

Year 0

Year 1

Year 2

Year 3

Initial Investment In fixed assets

$ (2,820,000.00)

Initial Investment in working capital

$     (340,000.00)

Annual Sales ( Net of tax) = 2120000*(1-30%)

$ 1,484,000.00

$ 1,484,000.00

$ 1,484,000.00

Annual Costs ( Net of tax) = 815000*(1-30%)

$   (570,500.00)

$   (570,500.00)

$   (570,500.00)

Tax Saving of depreciation = (Cost /Life )*tax rate

$      282,000.00

$      282,000.00

$      282,000.00

= (2820000/3)*30%

Terminal Value of asset (Net of tax) = 230000*(1-30%)

$      161,000.00

Net Cash Flows

$ (3,160,000.00)

$ 1,195,500.00

$ 1,195,500.00

$ 1,356,500.00

PVF (12%)

                 1.00000

               0.89286

               0.79719

               0.71178

PV = Cash Flows*PVF

$ (3,160,000.00)

$ 1,067,410.71

$      953,045.28

$      965,529.91

NPV = Sum of PVs'

$     (174,014.10)
