Bruno's Lunch Counter is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $28,500 a year for 6 years as a result. This expansion requires $95,800 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $7,000 of net working capital throughout the life of the project. What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 10 percent

Answer:

$25,276

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

The Present value of inflows is

= Cash inflow × Present value of discounting factor (rate% , number of years)

= $28,500 ÷ 1.1 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^2 + $285,00 ÷ 1.1^3 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^4 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^5 + $28,500 ÷ 1.1^6 + $7,000 ÷ 1.1^6

= $128,076.25

And,

Present value of outflows is

= $95,800 + $7,000

= $102,800

So

As we know that

NPV = Present value of inflows - Present value of outflows

= $128,076.25 - $102,800

= $25,276
