XYZ
company is considering a new project requiring an upfront
fixed-asset investment of $1,000,000 with an economic life of five
years. Depreciation is taken on a straight-line basis, with no
expected salvage value. Net working capital required immediately is
expected to be $100,000 and will be recovered in full upon the
project's completion in five years. In the optimistic-scenario
forecast, the annual sales volume is 61,400 units, while the sale
price is $158 per unit with a variable cost of $96 per unit. Annual
fixed costs are estimated to $1,324,000. If the appropriate
discount rate is 13.75% and the tax rate 30%, what is the project's
NPV?
