Problem: Suppose you have been asked to analyze the following capital expenditure proposal: Your company is considering the purchase of a fleet of energy-efficient delivery trucks . The trucks will reduce annual expenses by $320,000 . The trucks will require a total initial investment of $1 million . Their useful life is five years, at which time they will be sold for 10% of original cost .For tax purposes, the trucks will be depreciated using MACRS and are classified as 5-year property The investment will have no effect on net working capital The cost of capital is 16% and the marginal tax rate is 21%. Now, suppose you have begun the cash flow analysis, which is shown below. Many numbers are missing 0 2 4 5 Saving Depreciation EBIT 320,000 320,000 320,000 320,000 320,000 Depreciation OCF Investment (1,000,000) 0 0 Salvage Tax on Salvage Free Cash Flow Net Present Value MACRS% NBV (Adi.

B) Calculate the project's NPV and put it in the appropriate cell C) How much could the $100,000 salvage value decline before the NPV goes to zero? Answer: Show your work for part (C) in a neat and organized manner on the back of this page. Your response should clearly show how you arrived at the answer. An iterative (trial-and-error) solution is not acceptable This assignment will be collected on Friday, March 30, and will count toward your quiz grade Late submissions will not be accepted Problem: Suppose you have been asked to analyze the following capital expenditure proposal: Your company is considering the purchase of a fleet of energy-efficient delivery trucks .
