A project requires an initial investment of $100,000 and is expected to produce a cash inflow before tax of $28,000 per year for five years. Company A has substantial accumulated tax losses and is unlikely to pay taxes in the foreseeable future. Company B pays corporate taxes at a rate of 21% and can claim 100% bonus depreciation on the investment. Suppose the opportunity cost of capital is 11%. Ignore inflation & do not rely on MACRS.
a. Calculate project NPV for each company.
b. What is the IRR of the after-tax cash flows for each company?
a: NPV of company A = 3485.12
Company B = 2753.24
b: IRR of company A = 12.38%
Company B = 12.38%
