Etonic Inc. is considering an investment of $300,000 in an asset with an economic life of five years. The firm estimates that the nominal annual cash revenues and expenses at the end of the first year will be $200,000 and $50,000, respectively. Both revenues and expenses will grow thereafter at the annual inflation rate of 3 percent. Etonic will use the straight-line method to depreciate its asset to zero over five years. Depreciation is a nominal cash flow, so it does not need to be adjusted for inflation in nominal cash flow analysis. The salvage value of the asset is estimated to be $20,000 in nominal terms at that time. The one-time net working capital investment of $20,000 is required immediately and will be recovered at the end of the project. All corporate cash flows are subject to a 40 percent tax rate.
What is the after tax salvage value?
What is the projectâs total nominal cash flow from assets for each year?
Given the discount rate of 10%, what is the NPV of the project?
