The manufacture of polysyllabic acid is a competitive industry. Most plants have an annual output of $ 100,000 tons Operating costs are S 0 90 a ton and the sales pnce is $ 1 a ton A 100.000 ton plant costs $ 100,000 and has an indefinite lite its curren scrap value of $ 60,000 is expected to decline to $ 57,900 over the next two years. Phlogiston Incorporation proposes to invest $ 100.000 in a plant that employs a new los cost process to manufacture polysyllabic acid. The plant has the same capacity as existing units, but operating costs are $ 0.85 a ton Phlogiston estimates that it has two years' lead over each of its rivals in use of the process but is unable to build any more plants itself before year 2 Also it believes that demand over the next two years is likely to be sluggish and that its new plant will therefore cause temporary overcapacity You can assume that there are no taxes and that the cost of capital is 10% What would be the NPV of this project?
