2. Analysis of an expansion project Companies invest in expansion projects with the expectation of increasing the earnings of its business. Consider the case of Fox Co.: Fox Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs: Unit sales Sales price Year 1 3,500 $38.50 $22.34 $37,000 33% Year 2 4,000 $39.88 $22.85 $37,500 45% Year 3 4,200 $40.15 $23.67 $38,120 15% Year 4 4,250 $41.55 $23.87 $39,560 7% Variable cost per unit Fixed operating costs except depreciation Accelerated depreciation rate This project will require an investment of $10,000 in new equipment. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project's four-year life. Fox pays a constant tax rate of 40%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%. Determine what the project's net present value (NPV) would be when using accelerated depreciation. Determine what the project's net present value (NPV) would be when using accelerated depreciation.
