Bangor Moving Company is thinking of opening a new warehouse, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new warehouse. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No new working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) Project cost of capital (r)10.0%Opportunity cost$100,000Net equipment cost (depreciable basis)$65,000Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment33.333%Sales revenues, each year$123,000Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year$25,000Tax rate25%
