CALCULATING PROJECT INCREMENTAL CASH FLOWS AND NPV
Question
CALCULATING PROJECT INCREMENTAL CASH FLOWS AND NPV: Atlantic Manufacturing is considering a new investment project
that will last for four years. The delivered and installed cost of the machine needed for the project is $22252 and it will be depreciated according to the three-year MACRS schedule. The project also requires an initial increase in net working capital of $306. Financial projections for sales and costs are in the table below. In addition, since sales are expected to fluctuate, NWC requirements will also fluctuate. The end-of-year NWC requirements are included below (hint: these NWC capital requirements DO NOT represent the change in NWC for the period, they represent the end-of-year balance. You must calculate the change in NWC for each period). The $0 requirement for NWC at the end of year 4 means that all NWC is recovered by the end of the project The corporate tax rate is 35% and the required return on the project is 12%.
Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
Sales | $11901 | $12569 | $13475 | $10523 |
Costs | 2115 | 2646 | 3200 | 1223 |
NWC Requirements | 337 | 356 | 227 | 0 |
