a. |
If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the project’s Year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? |
b. | If the required return is 11 percent, what is the project's NPV? |
operating cash flow (OCF) in each year = income after tax + depreciation
book value of fixed asset at end of year 3 = fixed asset investment - total depreciation = $2,370,000 - $789,921 - $1,053,465 - $350,997 = $175,617
profit on sale of fixed asset = sale price - book value = $345,000 - $175,617 = $169,383
tax on salvage value = profit on sale of fixed asset * tax rate
NPV is calculated using NPV function in Excel
NPV is $267,893
