Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an installed cost of $179,400. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's 6-year life, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $27,600. The sausage system will save the firm $55,200 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $12,880. If the tax rate is 25 percent and the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
$27,853.79
$39,538.40
$33,463.37
$41,515.32
$45,147.98
ANSWER; $45,147.98
Depreciation = 179,400 / 6 = 29,900
Salvage value in year 6 after tax = 27,600 x (1-0.25) = 20,700
