Text: Problem 2 (8 Points)
You have designed a plant that is expected to cost 6.1 million SR, and its plant life is expected to be 8 years after the startup. A general contractor can complete building the plant in two years, and they require the capital cost at the end of the first year. The annual profit is calculated as 1.6 million SR. It must be mentioned that the plant needs a working capital of SR 0.8 million. You can expect 1.0 million SR salvage value from the plant, and land cost can be considered negligible. Consider the fact that KSA doesn't require a tax from the plant.
a) What is the cumulative non-discounted cash flow at the end of 4 years? [4]
b) Determine the non-discounted payback period. [3]
c) During the production life, if the world suffers from a pandemic (like Covid-19), how will the annual revenue be affected? [1]
