Homework Saved Better Mousetraps has developed a new trap. It can go into production for an initial investment in equipment of $6.0 million. The equipment will be depreciated straight line over 6 years to a value of zero, but in fact it can be sold after 6 years for $530,000. The firm believes that working capital at each date must be maintained at a level of 15% of next year's forecast sales. The firm estimates production costs equal to $1.90 per trap and believes that the traps can be sold for $6 each. Sales forecasts are given in the following table. The project will come to an end in 6 years, when the trap becomes technologically obsolete. The firm's tax bracket is 35%, and the required rate of return on the project is 9%. Use the MACRS depreciation schedule. Year: Sales (millions of traps) 1 0.4 2 3 0.5 0.6 4 0.6 5 0.8 6 0.4 Thereafter 0 a. What is project NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations.
