Little Abner's is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $37,000 a year for 4 years as a result. This expansion requires $39,000 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $3,000 of net working capital throughout the life of the project. What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 16 percent? show all work
Initial investment = cost of fixed asset + net working capital
Initial investment = 39,000 + 3,000 = 42,000
Year 3 non operating cash flow = 3000 ( since working capital will be recovered at the end of the project)
NPV = Present value of cash inflows - initial investment
NPV = -42,000 + 37,000 / ( 1 + 0.16)1 + 37,000 / ( 1 + 0.16)2 + 37,000 / ( 1 + 0.16)3 + 37,000 / ( 1 + 0.16)4 + 3,000 / ( 1 + 0.16)4
NPV = -42,000 + 31,896.552 + 27,497.027 + 23,704.334 + 20,434.771 + 1,656.873
NPV = $63,189.557
