How relevant to the decision are the $800(000) initial cost of the project and the operating losses of $300(000)?
Calculate the incremental liquidation cash flows for the abandon completely alternative. (Be sure to consider the tax effects from the sale of the land, trucks, equipment, and factory. Use the cash flows from the "as is" option as the base position to calculate these incremental amounts.)
(b) What would the incremental liquidation cash flows be from the abandon-but-lease alternative? (Use the "as is" option as the base position.)
(c) Calculate the NPV for each of these options.
(d) Based on these calculations and other information in the case, are these alternatives superior to the "as is" position? Which of the two is more consistent with the objective of value maximization? Explain.
