Equipment- $3000000
Working Cap.- $180000
Total= $3180000 or $3.18m
2. PV of yearly after-tax cash operating Income
= ($3.5m-$1.5m)(1-0.2)* PVIFA(m=3, k=12%)
= $3.8429m
3. PV of yearly tax saving from the depriciation
= ($3 m /3 years * 0.2)* PVIFA (m=3, k=12%)
= $0.4804 m
4. PV of fully recovered Net Working Capital
= $0.18 m * PVIF (m=3, k=12%)
= $0.1281 m
5. Total Net Inflow= 2+3+4
= $4.4514
NPV of project = 5-1
= $4.4514- $3.18 m =$1.2714 m
Since, the NPV of the project is Positive so the project is viable.
