how to calculate NPV

Question

 

Peterson Printing Corporation (PPC) is considering a proposal to offer a new specialized product for which the Company will need to purchase a new press. In reviewing the proposal, the company’s CFO (Nancy), is considering the following facts:

♦ The new business will require the company to purchase additional fixed assets that will cost $1,225,000 at t = 0.

♦ For tax and accounting purposes, these costs will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over three years. PPC always excludes salvage values from its depreciation calculations because they are difficult to predict.

♦ At the end of three years, the company will no longer offer the new product and will sell the printing press at a salvage value price of exactly $20,000.

♦ The project will require a $100,000 increase in net operating working capital at t = 0, which will be recovered at this same value at t = 3.

♦ The company’s marginal tax rate is 35%.

♦ The new business is expected to generate a nominal $2 million in sales each year (at t = 1, 2, and 3). The operating costs (excluding depreciation) are expected to be $1.12 million each year. No inflation is expected.

PPC’s marginal cost of debt is 9%, and its overall WACC is 15%. What is the net present value

(NPV) of the printing press project, and should Nancy accept it?

a. Yes do the deal because NPV is $381,615

b. Yes do the deal because NPV is $571,921

c. No, don’t do the deal because NPV is -$381,615

d. No, don’t do the deal because NPV is -$571,921

e. none of the above.

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
