Weston Clothing Company is considering manufacturing a new style of shirt, 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 new 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 Weston's 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.)

WACC 10.0%

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

Investment cost (depreciable basis) $80,000

Straight-line deprec. rate 33.333%

Sales revenues, each year for 3 years $67,500

Annual operating costs (excl. deprec.) $25,000

Tax rate 35.0%

a. $3,636

b. $3,828

c. $4,019

d. $4,220

e. $4,431
