Eggz, Inc., is considering the purchase of new equipment that will allow the company to collect loose hen feathers for sale. The equipment will cost $430,000 and will be eligible for 100 percent bonus depreciation. The equipment can be sold for $48,000 at the end of the project in 5 years. Sales would be $279,000 per year, with annual fixed costs of $48,000 and variable costs equal to 35 percent of sales. The project would require an investment of $27,000 in NWC that would be returned at the end of the project. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return is 8 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.) NPV

NPV = $91,412.60

Explanation:

initial outlay = $430,000 (equipment cost) + $27,000 (increase in net working capital) = $457,000

revenue per year (without considering depreciation) = {[$279,000 x (1 - 35%)] - $48,000} x (1 - 21%) = $105,346.50

additional revenue generated by bonus depreciation = $430,000 x 21% = $90,300

after tax salvage value = $48,000 x (1 . 21%) = $37,920

Cash flow year 0 = -$457,000

Cash flow year 1 = $105,346.50 + $90,300 = $195,646.50

Cash flow year 2 = $105,346.50

Cash flow year 3 = $105,346.50

Cash flow year 4 = $105,346.50

Cash flow year 5 = $105,346.50 + $37,920 + $27,000 = $170,266.50

discount rate = 8%

using a financial calculator, NPV = $91,412.60

i think the answer is a. dependable person

i hope this is right!
