Cassaro Corp. is considering building a new facility to extract natural gas, process the natural gas, and distribute it to buyers. Building such a facility is extremely complicated and time-consuming. Construction is anticipated to begin in July 2015. During 2015 Cassaro is expected to spend $1,000,000 in cash expenditures toward the new facility. The factory will take 5-1/2 years to complete, with cash expenditures of $2,000,000 in 2016, and $2,000,000, $$1,000,000, $1,000,000, and $500,000 in the subsequent years. The facility is expected to have a 15-year life (staring when the facility begins production) with a residual value of $1,500,000, and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. The new facility will go online the year after the last cash expenditure is made, and cash flows from sales are anticipated to be $3,000,000 in the first two years of operation $5,000,000 for the next three years, $4,000,000 for the following five years, and $2,000,000 for the last five years of the estimated life. Operating expenses are expected to be $1,500,000 for each ear the facility operates. An additional capital expenditure of $500,000 cash will be required in the fifth and tenth year the facility is in operation. Cassaro has an effective tax rate of 30% and a required rate of return of 8%.
