Project Evaluation

Kolby's Korndogs is looking at a new sausage sytem with an installed cost of $655.000. This cost will be depreciated straight-line to zero over the project's five-year lie, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $85.000. The sausage system will save the firm $183.000 per year in pre tax operating cost, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $35.000. If the tax rate is 34 percent and the discount rate is 8 percent, what is the NPV of this project?
