Question

Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.32 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $1.735 million in annual sales, with costs of $650,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $250,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $180,000 at the end of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent.

a. What is the project’s Year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3?  (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567. A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.)

b. If the required return is 12 percent, what is the project's NPV?

(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
