Quad Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.18 mill

andre [41]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

1. If the tax rate is 24 percent, what is the project’s Year 0 net cash flow?

A. Year 1.

B. Year 2.

C. Year 3

Year 0 cash flow = - initial fixed asset investment - initial investment in net working capital = $2,180,000 + $290,000 = $2,470,000

Annual depreciation expenses = 2,470,000 / 3 = $823,333

A. Year 1 cash flow = (Sales - costs - depreciation)(1 - tax) + depreciation = (1,730,000 - 636,000 - 823,333)(1 - 0.24) + 823,333 = $1,029,039.92

B. Year 2 cash flow = $1,029,039.92

C. Non operating year 3 cash flow = Market value + Net working capital - tax(market value - book value) = 240,000 + 290,000 - 0.24(240,000 - 0) = $472,400

Year 3 cash flow = $472,400 + $1,029,039.92 = $1,501,439.92

2. If the required return is 12 percent, what is the project's NPV?

NPV = -2,470,000 + (1,029,039.92 / (1 + 0.12)^1 + 1,029,039.92 / (1 + 0.12)^2 + 1,501,439.92 / (1 + 0.12)^3 = $337,825.25
