Bruno's Lunch Counter is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $28,500 a year for 4 years as a result. This expansion requires $67,000 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $4,400 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 11 percent?
Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=28500/1.11+28500/1.11^2+28500/1.11^3+28500/1.11^4+4400/1.11^4[Note:The net working capital will be released at the end of project]
=28500[1/1.11+1/1.11^2+1/1.11^3+1/1.11^4]+4400/1.11^4
=(28500*3.10244569)+(4400*0.658730974)
=$91318.12
Present value of outflows=67000+4400=71400
NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=$91318.12-71400
=$19918.12(Approx).
