A five$-$year project will cost $$2,000,000$ to construct. This will be depreciated straight line to zero over the five$-$year life. The project is expected to generate annual sales of $$2,500,000.$ It has annual variables costs of $$1,000,000$ and annual fixed costs of $$600,000.$ The appropriate tax rate is $25$ percent and the required rate of return on the project is $16$ percent. Assume that a salvage company will pay $$300,000($before taxes$)$ for the assets at the end of year $5.$ The project also has an initial net working capital requirement of $$150,000,$ which is fully recoverable when the project ends in year $5.$ Note that the project only depreciates the $$2,000,000$ initial cost. The salvage value is excluded from depreciation. What is the project$$s net present value $($NPV$)?$ Should the firm accept the project?
