I'am confused about do we need to include depreciation in NPV calculations?
And second, how can I calculate the CapEx(Machine) when i know only amount of depreciation for it. Can you tell me is 1.600.000 is the right amount
Thank you!

The company's accountant has rejected the project on the basis that it results in a forecast loss of 890,000 over its expected ve-year life. The company's board of directors are concerned about the carbon footprint of tire company and are looking for ways to improve its environmental impact and have agreed that a maximum loss of half a million pounds over a ve year period is acceptable. They have requested you to re- examine the nancial consequences of the product.
