Question

The Best Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated here. The corporate tax rate is 22 percent. Assume all sales revenue is received in cash, all operating costs and income taxes are paid in cash, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. All net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.

	Year 0		Year 1		Year 2		Year 3		Year 4
Investment	$	27,500
Sales revenue			$	14,600	$	16,200	$	17,600	$	14,100
Operating costs				3,500		3,400		5,400		4,000
Depreciation				6,875		6,875		6,875		6,875
Net working capital spending		360		260		345		210		?

a.	Compute the incremental net income of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

   

b.	Compute the incremental cash flows of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

   

c.	Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 12 percent. What is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
