Question

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.91 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 $2,150,000 in annual sales, with costs of $845,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $370,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $245,000 at the end of the project.
