Question

Sunland Company is performing a post-audit of a project completed one year ago. The initial estimates were that the project would cost $221,000, would have a useful life of 9 years and zero salvage value, and would result in net annual cash flows of $44,200 per year. Now that the investment has been in operation for 1 year, revised figures indicate that it actually cost $229,000, will have a total useful life of 11 years (including the year just completed), and will produce net annual cash flows of $37,800 per year. Evaluate the success of the project. Assume a discount rate of 12%. What is the original estimate net present value? What is the revised estimate net present value. Is the project a success?
