Your company plans to spend $1,750,000 cash to build a plant that will produce benefits with a total present value of $3,000,000. Your company already owns the land on which it will build the plant. That land was purchased with cash several years ago for $300,000, which is the current book value of the land. The land could be sold for $1,275,000 after-tax today. What is the net present value of the proposed plant?
Opportunity costs are normally:
Incremental cash flows
The result of a company investing a non-cash asset in a capital budgeting project
Based on the market value (after tax) of a non-cash asset
All of the above
