Maple Media is considering a proposal to enter a new line of business. In reviewing the proposal, the company's CFO is considering the following facts:

2. At the end of three years, the company will get out of the business and will sell the fixed assets at a salvage value of $100,000.

3. The project will require a $50,000 increase in net operating working capital at t=0, which will be recovered at t=3.

4. The Company's marginal tax rate is 35 percent.
