A) Esfandairi Enterprises is considering a new three-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.18 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life, after which time it will be worthless. The project is estimated to generate $1.645 million in annual sales, with costs of $610,000. The required return is 12 percent. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the project’s NPV? B) Suppose the project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $250,000 and the fixed asset will have a market value of $180,000 at the end of the project. What is the project’s Year 0 net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? What is the new NPV? C) Suppose the fixed asset actually falls into the three-year MACRS class. All the other facts are the same. What is the project’s Year 1 net cash flow now? Year 2? Year 3? What is the new NPV? D) Suppose the fixed asset actually qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation. All the other facts are the same. What is the project’s Year 1 net cash flow now? Year 2? Year 3? What is the new NPV?

Walker Inc. is considering the purchase of new equipment that will automate production and thus reduce labor costs. Walker made the following estimates related to the new machinery: Assume depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis for tax purposes. Assume all cash flows occur at year-end except for initial investment amounts. 1. Calculate (a) net present value, (b) payback period, (c) discounted payback period, and (d) internal rate of return. 2. Compare and contrast the capital budgeting methods in requirement 1.
5. (Depreciation) You are considering the following investment: a. Assuming that the investment can be depreciated using 7-year straight-line depreciation with no salvage value, calculate the project NPV. b. What will be the company's gain in present value if it uses a 7-year modified accelerated depreciation (MACRS) schedule, given below:
