Initial Investment = $400,000
Life of Project = 6 years
Initial NWC required = $50,000
Annual Cash Inflows = $90,000
Salvage Value = $30,000
NWC recovered = $50,000
Discount Rate = 6%
NPV = -$400,000 - $50,000 + $90,000 * PVA of $1 (6%, 6) +
$30,000 * PV of $1 (6%, 6) + $50,000 * PV of $1 (6%, 6)
NPV = -$450,000 + $90,000 * (1 - (1/1.06)^6) / 0.06 + $80,000 /
1.06^6
NPV = -$450,000 + $90,000 * 4.917 + $80,000 * 0.705
NPV = $48,930
So, NPV of this project is $48,930
