Problem 6-2 Calculating Project NPV The Best Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated here. The corporate tax rate is 34 percent. Assume all sales revenue is received in cash, all operating costs and income taxes are paid in cash, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. All net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.

                   Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

Investment $ 28,000

Sales revenue $ 14,500 $ 15,000 $ 15,500 $ 12,500

Operating costs 3,100 3,200 3,300 2,500

Depreciation 7,000 7,000 7,000 7,000

Net working capital spending 340 390 440 340

? a. Compute the incremental net income of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

Net income $ $ $ $ b. Compute the incremental cash flows of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.) Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

Cash flow $ $ $ $ $
