Answer :
(1.) Calculation of project's Initial Cash Outlay at Year 0
Year 0 cash outflow = New equipment cost - Old equipment sale value net of tax + net operating working capital
Year 0 cash outlay = 155000 - ( 7000 * 0.80 ) + 5000
Year 0 cash outlay = 155000 - 5600 + 5000
Year 0 cash outlay = 154400
(2.) NPV of the Project if Dominant Retailer’s WACC is 12.75%
