Lakeside Winery is considering expanding its winemaking operations. The expansion will require new equipment costing $687,000 that would be depreciated on a straight-line basis to zero over the 5-year life of the project. The equipment will have a market value of $187,000 at the end of the project. The project requires $57,000 initially for net working capital, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The operating cash flow will be $176,600 a year. What is the net present value of this project if the relevant discount rate is 13 percent and the tax rate is 35 percent?
