The Best Manufacturing Company is considering a new investment. Financial projections for the investment are tabulated here. The corporate tax rate is 40 percent. Assume all sales revenue is received in cash, all operating costs and income taxes are paid in cash, and all cash flows occur at the end of the year. All net working capital is recovered at the end of the project.

Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
Investment $ 43,000
Sales revenue $ 22,000 $ 22,500 $ 23,000 $ 20,000
Operating costs 4,600 4,700 4,800 4,000
Depreciation 10,750 10,750 10,750 10,750
Net working capital spending 490 540 590 490 ?
Compute the incremental net income of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
Net income $ $ $ $
b.
Compute the incremental cash flows of the investment for each year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
Cash flow $ $ $ $ $
c.
Suppose the appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. What is the NPV of the project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

NPV $

Answer:

The solution is presented in the attached excel sheets.

Explanation:

Part a

For the first part the  for the calculation of increment, the income is calculated as follows

The income is calculated using following

Gross Income=Sales Revenue-Operating Cost-Depreciation

Net Income is given as Gross Income-Tax Rate *Gross Income

Now the increment is given by finding the difference between two year's income.

Part b

The incremental cash flow is calculated as indicated in the attached sheet.

Part c

The present value at 11 percent is calculated as using the formula indicated in the attached sheets.

Answer: Net Present Value = 2576.09

Explanation:

    Year 1  Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

Sales  22000 22500 23000 20000

Operating costs -4600 -4700 -4800 -4000

Depreciation    -10750  -10750  -10750    -10750

Net working capital  -490  -540  -590 *1620

Profit before tax 6160 6510 6860 6780

**Income tax  -2464 -2604 -2744 -2748

Net income 3696 3906   4116 4122

*net working capital costs recovered in year 4 = total net working capital expenses – Year 4 expense net working capital costs recovered in year 4 = (490 + 540 + 590 + 490) – 490 = 1620

** profit before tax multiplied by 40%

B. Incremental Cash Flows

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

Net income 3696 3906 4116 4122

Depreciation 10750 10750 10750 10750

Cash Flow 14446 14656 14866 14872

Depreciation is added back because it is a non cash item

C. Net present value

The Net present Value = Present Value of cash flows – initial investment  

The Net present Value = 45576.09 – 43000 = 2576.09

Net Present Value = $ 2576.09
