In the spring of 2010, Jemison Electric was considering an investment in a new distribution centre. Jemison's CFO anticipates additional earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $100,000 for the first year of operation of the centre in 2011, and, over the next five years, the firm estimates that this amount will grow at a rate of 5% per year. The distribution centre will require an initial investment of $400,000 that will be depreciated over a five-year period toward a zero salvage value using straight-line depreciation of $80,000 per year. Furthermore, Jemison expects to invest an amount equal to the firm's annual depreciation expense to maintain the physical plant. These additional capital expenditures will also be depreciated over a period of five years toward a zero salvage value. Jemison's CFO estimates that the distribution centre will need additional net working capital equal to 20% of new EBIT (i.e., the change in EBIT from year to year). Assuming the firm faces a 30% tax rate, calculate the project's annual project free cash flow (FCF) for each of the next five years.
