Consider a project with a 5-year life. The initial cost to set up the project is $100,000. This amount is to be linearly depreciated to zero over the life of the project and there is no salvage value. The required return is 15% and the tax rate is 34%.

What is the NPV in the base case, pessimistic case, AND the optimistic case?
