Data
Example E
Cost of equipment needed	$130,000
Working capital needed	$40,000
Overhaul of equipment in four years	$15,000
Salvage value of the equipment in five years	$35,000
Annual revenues and costs:
Sales revenues	$375,000
Cost of goods sold	$280,000
Out-of-pocket operating costs	$55,000
Discount rate	17	%

a. What is the net present value of the project? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your present value factor to 3 decimals and round all other intermediate calculations to nearest whole dollar.)

c. The internal rate of return is between what two whole discount rates (e.g., between 10% and 11%, between 11% and 12%, between 12% and 13%, between 13% and 14%, etc.)?

d. Reset the discount rate to 17%. Suppose the salvage value is uncertain. How large would the salvage value have to be to result in a positive net present value?
