8. value: 20.00 points Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.46 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $2,000,000 in annual sales, with costs of $695,000. The tax rate is 35 percent and the required return is 16 percent.

What is the project’s NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Explanation / Answer

Question 8) NPV = Present Value of Cash inflows - Present Value of Cash Outflow

Calculation of Operating Cash Flows for each of Year 1 to 3

Sales

(-) Cost of goods sold

2000000

695000

Earnings before depreciation

(-) Depreciation [2460000 / 3]

1305000

  820000

Earnings before tax

(-) Tax @ 35 %

485000

169750

Earnings after Tax

(+) Depreciation

315250

820000

Present Value of Cash inflow = 1135250 * Cumulative Present Value Factor for Three Years @ 16 %

= 1135250 * 2.2459

= $ 2549657.98 (approx)

Present Value of Cash outflow = $ 2.46 Million = $ 2.46 * 1000000 = $ 2460000

The NPV of Project = 2549657.98 - 2460000 = $ 89657.98 (approx)

Conclusion:- The Project's NPV = $ 89657.98 (approx)
