The project involves an initial investment of $100,000 in equipment that falls in the 3-year MACRS class and has an estimated salvage value of $15,000. In addition, the company expects an initial increase in net operating working capital of $5,000 that will be recovered in Year 4. The cost of capital for the project is 12 percent. What is the project's net present value? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.) New project NPV . Pierce Products is deciding whether it makes sense to purchase a new piece of equipment. The equipment costs $100,000 (payable at t = 0). The equipment will provide before-tax cash inflows of $45,000 a year at the end of each of the next four years (t = 1, 2, 3, and 4). The equipment can be depreciated according to the following schedule: MACRS Depreciation Year Rate 1 0.33 2 0.45 3 0.15 4 0.07 At the end of four years the company expects to be able to sell the equipment for an after-tax salvage value of $10,000. The company is in the 40 percent tax bracket.
