Financial calculator Bruno's Lunch Counter is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $23,900 a year for 5 years as a result. This expansion requires $66,000 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $5,600 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 12 percent?

NPV = 138,347.55

Explanation:

Net Present Value (NPV) : This is one of the techniques available to evaluate the feasibility of an investment project. The NPV of a project is the difference between the present value of the cash inflows and the cash outflows of the project.

We sahall compute theNPV of this project by discounting the appropriate cash flows as follows:

Prevent Value of  operating cash flow

PV =A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- 23,900, r - 12%, n- 5

PV = $23,900 × (1- (1.12)^(-5))/0.05

=206,769.963

PV of Working Capital recouped

PV = 5600× 1.12^(-5)

    = 3,177.59

NPV = initial cost + working capital + Present Value of working capital recouped + PV of operating cash inflow

NPV = (66,000) + (5600) + 3,177.59 + 206,769.96

NPV = 138,347.55

okay lol !
