The Market Place is considering a new four-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $1.67 million. The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its four-year tax life, after which time it will have a market value of $435,000. No bonus depreciation will be taken. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $198,000, all of which will be recovered at the end of the project. The project is estimated to generate $1,850,000 in annual sales, with costs of $1,038,000. The tax rate is 21 percent and the required return for the project is 16.4 percent. What is the net present value?
