Question 6
Foley Systems is considering a new investment whose data are shown below. The equipment would be depreciated using the MCRS system basis over the project's 4-year life, would have a zero salvage value, and would require some additional working capital that would be recovered at the end of the project's life. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's life. What is the project's NPV?
NOTE: The depreciation system used in the US is MACRS which stands for Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System. Some people refer to it as accelerated to distinguish it from the straight line depreciation.
The accelerated rates for such property are 33%, 45%, 15%, and 7% for Years 1 through 4.
WACC 10.0%
Net initial investment in fixed assets $75,000
Required new working capital $15,000
Sales revenues, each year $75,000
Operating costs (excluding depreciation), each year $25,000
