Answer:
$115,849.581
Explanation:
For computing the net present value first we have to do following calculations
Annual depreciation expense is
= (Cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life
= ($2.31 million ÷ 3)
= $770,000
Now
Annual Operating cash flow = (Sales - Costs) × (1 - tax rate) + Tax savings on Annual depreciation
= ($1,785,000 - $695,000) × (1 - 0.25) + (0.25 × $770,000)
= $817,500 + $192,500
= $1,010,000
Now Present value of annuity is
= Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^ -time period] ÷ rate
= $1,010,000 × {1 - (1.12)^-3] ÷ 0.12
= $1,010,000 × 2.401831268
= $2,425,849.581
So, Net present value is
= Present value of inflows - Present value of outflows
= $2,425,849.581 - $2,310,000
= $115,849.581
