Topperton Company has developed a new industrial product. An outlay of $8 million is required for equipment to produce the new product, and additional net working capital of $400,000 is required to support production and marketing. In addition, a one-time $400,000 (before-tax) expense will be incurred the year that the equipment is placed into service. The equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis to a zero book value over 6 years. Although the depreciable life is 6 years, the project is expected to have a productive life of 8 years, and it is estimated that the equipment can be sold for $1 million at that time. Revenues minus expenses are expected to be $3 million per year. The cost of capital for this project is 14%, and the relevant tax rate is 30%. What is the NPV of the new product?

You are thinking of buying a machine that has a 4-year useful life, and would require an initial outlay of $240,000. The machine would be depreciated to a zero book value over 4 years on a straight-line basis, so depreciation would be $60,000 per year. The machine would generate an incremental increase in operating income of $100,000 per year in real terms before taxes, and the relevant tax rate is 40%. Inflation (i) is expected to be 8% per year, and the project's required return in real terms would be rr = 10%. What is the net present value of this machine?

Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $626,691. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to 56,970 over the project's 7-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $88,788. The sausage system will save the firm $173,036 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $63,590. If the tax rate is 0.36 and the discount rate is 0.12, what is the total cash flow in year 7? (Make sure you enter the number with the appropriate +/- sign)
