(1) A firm is considering an expansion project that will last three years. The project requires an immediate purchase of a new equipment that costs $600,000. The equipment will be fully depreciated using straight-line method over the next three years. The resale price of the equipment at the end of year three is estimated to be $100,000. The project will generate annual sales of $550,000 and incur annual costs (all costs except depreciation expense) of $250,000 for each of the next three years. The project requires an immediate investment of $80,000 in NWC, which will be fully recovered in year 3. The corporate tax rate is 30%.

Calculate the Cash Flow from Assets (Project Cash Flow) for the project for years 0, 1, 2, and 3.

(2) For the project above in question (1), calculate the payback period, the discounted payback period, the net present value, and the internal rate of return. Assume that the required rate of return is 20%.
