Revenue and cash operating expenses are expected to be constant over the project's 5 year expected operating life; annual sales revenue is $99,000.00 and cash operating expenses are $49,750.00.

The new equipment replaces older equipment that is fully depreciated but can be sold for $7,000. In addition, the new equipment requires an additional $5,000 of net operating working capital, which can be fully recovered at the end of the project.

Note: Enter your answer rounded off to two decimal points. Do not enter $ or comma in the answer box. For example, if your answer is $12,300.456 then enter as 12300.46 in the answer box.

Answer 1

Solution:- Given in Question-

Equipment cost = $1,55,000

Net Working capital = $5,000

To Calculate the project's Initial Cash Outlay at Year 0-

Initial Cash Outlay at year 0 = -Equipment Cost - Net operating working capital

Initial Cash Outlay at year 0 = -$1,55,000 - $5,000

Initial Cash Outlay at year 0 = -$1,60,000

The Projects initial cash outlay at year 0 is amounting to -$1,60,000.
