(ABC) A new computer costs $1,200,000. This cost could be depreciated at 30% per year (Class 10). The computer would actually be worth $110,000 in five years. The new computer would save $523,000 per year before taxes and operating costs. Suppose the new computer requires us to increase net working capital by $62,500 when we buy it. If we require a 12% return, what is the NPV of the purchase? Assume a tax rate of 40%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit $ sign in your response.)
NPV = +282,497.52
Working Note:
Step 1:
| Initial Cash flow (Year 0) | |
| Cost of New Computer | (1,200,000.00) |
| Add: Net Working Capital | (62,500.00) |
| Total Outflow | (1,262,500.00) |
Step 2:

Step 3:
| Terminal flow (Year 5) | |
| Salvage value after tax | 66,000.00 |
| Total terminal flow | 66,000.00 |
| Workings | |
| Tax on salvage value | |
| Step 1: Ascertain the profit on sale of asset | |
| Profit = salvage value - book value | |
| Salvage value = | 110,000.00 |
| Book Value at the end of 5th Year | - |
| Profit = salvage value - book value | 110,000.00 |
| Step 2:Calculate tax on the profit @ 40% | 44,000.00 |
| Salvage value after tax | 66,000.00 |
Consolidation of Step 1 to Step 3
| Year | Cash Flow | PVF @ 12% = 1/(1+r)^n | DCF |
