Answer:
Century Roofing
Project's NPV is: ($6,578)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
WACC = 10.0%
Opportunity cost = $100,000
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) = $65,000
Straight-line deprec. rate for equipment = 33.333% Â
Sales revenues, each year = $123,000
Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year = $25,000
Tax rate = 35%
Cash outflow in year 0 = $165,000 (Opportunity and new equipment costs)
Annual Cash inflow = $123,000 - $25,000 - $34,300 = $63,700
PV of annuity for 3 years at 10% = $158,422 ($63,700 x 2.487)
NPV = Cash inflow minus Cash outflow
= $158,422 - $165,000
= ($6,578)
Negative NPV
b) Since Century Roofing could have realized $100,000 from the sale of the building if it decides not to open the new warehouse, this opportunity cost is factored into the calculation of the Net Present Value. Â It becomes a present cash outflow. Â Century Roofing's opportunity cost is defined as the loss of $100,000 being the future return from the best alternative project when it chooses to build the new warehouse instead of selling off the building.
