Question 14

A dairy farm project has an initial requirement of $600,000 for fixed assets (i.e. goats) and $60,000 for net working capital. The price of their special goat cheese packages are $30.00 with a variable cost of $20.00 per package. The goats will be depreciated to a zero book value over the 3-year life of the project and will be worthless at the end of the project because the dairy farmer plans to give the goats away as pets. All of the net working capital will be recouped after 3 years. The expected annual operating cash flow is $240,000. What is the project's internal rate of return if the tax rate is 35 percent?
