Consider the following project of Hand Clapper, Inc. The company is considering a four-year project to manufacture clap-command garage door openers. This project requires an initial investment of $15.6 million that will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project’s life. An initial investment in net working capital of $960,000 is required to support spare parts inventory; this cost is fully recoverable whenever the project ends. The company believes it can generate $12.1 million in pretax revenues with $4.7 million in total pretax operating costs. The tax rate is 38 percent and the discount rate is 12 percent. The market value of the equipment over the life of the project is as follows: Year Market Value (millions) 1 $ 13.60 2 10.60 3 8.10 4 1.45 a. Assuming the company operates this project for four years, what is the NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV $ 22846326.72 b-1 Compute the project NPV assuming the project is abandoned after one year. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV $ b-2 Compute the project NPV assuming the project is abandoned after two years. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
