Assume that a firm can invest an initial outlay of $100,000 in a 10-year project that yields EBITDA of $22,000 per year. The firm's tax rate is 40% and the cost of capital is 12%. a. Calculate the NPV of the project using the straight-line method of depreciation for tax purposes. Should the firm accept the project? b. Calculate the NPV of the project using the sum-of-years-digits accelerated depreciation method for tax purposes. (You may have to look up this method.) Should the firm accept the project?

Consider a capital expenditure project that has forecasted revenues equal to $32,000 per year; cash expenses are estimated to be $29,000 per year. The cost of the project equipment is $23,000, and the equipment's estimated salvage value at the end of the project is $9,000. The equipment's $23,000 cost will be depreciated on a straightline basis to $0 over a 10-year estimated economic life. Assume that the project requires an initial $7,000 working capital investment. The company's marginal tax rate is 30%. Calculate the project's net present value using a 12% discount rate.
What is the NPV for the following project if its cost of capital is 12 percent and its initial after tax cost is $5,000,000 and it is expected to provide after-tax operating cash flows of $1,800,000 in year 1, $1,900,000 in year 2, $1,700,000 in year 3 and ($1,300,000) in year 4?
