A firm is analyzing a 5-year project. The project requires an initial investment of $895,000 in equipment. In addition, the firm must increase net operating working capital (NOWC) by $70,000 at Year 0, which will be fully recovered at the end of the project (Year 5). The project will generate annual operating cash flow (OCF) of $358,000 for Years 1 through 5. At the end of Year 5, the equipment is expected to be sold for an after-tax salvage value (ATSV) of $150,000. The company’s discount rate is 12 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project.
