Assuming straight-line depreciation to zero, what is the IRR of this project? Initial investment = $160,000; requires an initial investment in NWC = $15,000 cost savings = $65,000 per year; life = 5 years; salvage value = $12,000 in year 5; tax rate = 38%; discount rate = 12%.
Assume that you're able to reduce the working capital at the beginning of the project, and that the NWC will revert back to normal at the end of the project. If all other given information stays the same, what is the NPV of this project?
