Calculating Project Cash Flow from Assets [LO 2]
Cochrane, Inc., is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2,130,000. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $2,160,000 in annual sales, with costs of $1,150,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $151,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $176,000 at the end of the project. Assume that the tax rate is 30 percent and the required return on the project is 14 percent.
Requirement 1:
What are the net cash flows of the project for the following years?
Requirement 2:
What is the NPV of the project?
