(a) Initial cash flow = Fixed asset costs+ net working capital
=$(300,000 + 38,000)
=$338,000
Depreciation = 300,000/3 = $ 100,000 per year
(b) Operating cash flow (OCF) =
Particulars Amt in $

Income before tax 100,000
Less tax@30% 30,000
Income after tax 70,000

OFC for
year 1 =$170,000
year 2 =$170,000
year 3 =$(170,000 + 38,000) =$208,000
In year 3 , the net working capital will also be recovered.
(c) NPV = present value of future cashflows - initial investment
= 170,000/(1+12%)1 + 170,000/(1+12%)2 + 208,000/(1+12%)3
= 151,785.71 + 135,522.96 + 148,050.29 - 338,000
=435,358.96 - 338,000
= $97,358.96
(d) The NPV of the project is $ 97,358.96. The NPV of the project is postive , so the company should accept the project.
