Kolby’s Korndogs is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $665,000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s 5-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $87,000. The sausage system will save the firm $187,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $39,000. If the tax rate is 22 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
