XY Inc. is considering a three-year project. The initial investment on the fixed asset will be $90,000. Fixed asset will be depreciated using straight-line method to zero over the life of the project. The net working capital investment will be $50,000. The project is estimated to generate $200,000 in annual sales, with cost of $150,000. Assume the tax rate is 35% and required return is 10%, what is the NPV of this project?
$-33,065
$30,971
$15,428
Initial cash outflow = Fixed investment + Net working capital investment
= $90000+$50000
= $140000
Annual depreciation = $90000/3
= $30000
After tax operating cash flow = (Sales - Cost - Depreciation)*(1-Tax rate) + Depreciation
= ($200000 - $150000 - $30000)*(1-0.35) + $30000
= $20000*(1-0.35) + $30000
= $43000
NPV is calculated in excel below
Therefore, the correct option is $-33065
