Lightning Bolt Inc. has an opportunity to pursue a capital budgeting project with a five-year time horizon. After careful study, Lightening estimated the following costs and revenues for the project: Cost of equipment $ 200,000 Working capital needed $50,000 Overhaul of the equipment in two years $20,000 Sales Revenue $ 280,000 Variable expenses $160,000 Fixed out-of- pocket operating costs $50,000 The piece of equipment mentioned above has a useful life of five years and zero salvage value. Lightning uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting and tax purposes. The company's tax rate is 30% and its after-tax cost of capital is 10%. When the project concludes in five years the working capital will be released for investment elsewhere within the company. Calculate the net present value of this investment opportunity.
