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
