TexMex Food Company is considering a new salsa whose data are shown below. The equipment to be used would be depreciated by the straight-line method over its 3-year life and would have a zero salvage value, and no change in net operating working capital would be required. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. However, this project would compete with other TexMex products and would reduce their pre-tax annual cash flows. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number. WACC 10.0%

Pre-tax cash flow reduction for other products (cannibalization) -$5,000

Investment cost (depreciable basis) $80,000 Straight-line depr. rate 33.333%

Annual sales revenues $66,000 Annual operating costs (excl. depr.) -$25,000

Tax rate 35.0%

a. $1,684 b. $1,529 c. $1,347 d. $1,403 e. $1,094
