Ovechkin Ltd. is considering starting a small catering business. He would need to purchase a delivery van and equipment costing $130,000 to operate the business and another $70,000 for inventories and other working capital needs. Rent for the building to be used by the business will be $35,000 per year. Ovechkins marketing studies indicate that the annual cash inflow from the business will amount to $120,000. In addition to the building rent, annual cash outflow for operating costs will amount to $40,000. Ovechkin wants to operate the catering business for only six years. At the end of year 6, the working capital investment would be recovered. Ovechkin uses a 16% discount rate. Ignore taxes.
