CSC is evaluating new project to produce encapsulators.The initial investment in plant and equipment is $500,000. Sales of encapsulators in year 1 are forecasted at $200,000 and costs at $100,000. Both are expected to increase by 10% a year. Profits are taxed at 30%. Working capital in each year consists of inventories of raw materials and is forecasted at 20% of sales in the following year. The project will last five years and the equipment at the end of this period will have scrap value of $50,000 but could be sold for $ 30,000. For tax purposes the equipment can be depreciated straight line over these years. Forecast cash flows from the project.
