Your company is about to undertake a major investment project. The project will require an initial investment of $200 million in a machine plus another $35 million for working capital. Tax authorities will allow you to depreciate the machine on a straight-line basis over four years to a salvage value of zero. In fact, however, you expect that you can sell the machine for $30 million at the end of Year 4. You will need to have a working capital balance on hand at the end of each year equal to 30% of that year’s sales. The working capital can be fully recovered at the end of the project’s life. You expect that the project will generate $100 million in sales and $40 million in cash operating expenses (excluding depreciation) during each of the next four years. The corporate tax rate is 40%. The discount rate is 7.25%. What is NPV of this project?
