A garage is installing a new "bubble-wash" car wash. It will promote the car wash as a fun activity for the family, and it is expected that the novelty of this approach will boost sales in the medium term. If the cost of capital is 88%,by using the data in the table above, calculate the net present value (NPV) of this project.
NPV = sum of present values of FCF
FCF in each year = incremental earnings + depreciation - capital purchases - change to NWC
In year 1, EBIT is negative. Therefore, taxes should be positive, and these are a cash inflow since there is a reduction in tax expense. This will offset the negative EBIT to increase the incremental earnings. Therefore, this adjustment needs to be done in Year 1.
present value of each FCF = FCF / (1 + cost of capital)n
where n = number of years after which the cash flow occurs
NPV = 124,256
