Both projects' after-tax cash flows are shown on the time line below. Depreciation, salvage values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects are all included in these cash flows. Both projects have 4-year lives, and they have risk characteristics similar to the firm's average project. Bellinger's WACC is 10%. 0 1 2 3 4 Project A -910 660 315 260 310 Project B -910 260 250 410 760 What is Project B's NPV? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Explanation / Answer

PV = Cashflow/ (1+i)^n

where i = 10% and n is the number of period
