Eggz, Inc., is considering the purchase of new equipment that will allow the company to collect loose hen feathers for sale. The equipment will cost $460,000 and will be eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation. The equipment can be sold for $66,000 at the end of the project in 5 years. Sales would be $303,000 per year, with annual fixed costs of $54,000 and variable costs equal to 35 percent of sales. The project would require an investment of $39,000 in NWC that would be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 22 percent and the required return is 8 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project.
