Dog Up! Franks is looking at a new sausage system with an initial cost of $445,000 that will last for five years. The fixed asset will qualify for 100 percent bonus depreciation in the first year, at the end of which the sausage system can be scrapped for $53,000. The sausage system will save the firm $139,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $25,000. If the tax rate is 23 percent and the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the NPV of this project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

The NPV of this project is $494,385.54.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the NPV.

Net present value (NPV) of project refers to the the difference between the project's present value of its cash cash inflows and the present value of of its cash outflows over a specific period of time.

Since inflow is positive and outflow is negative, NPV can also be calculated by just sum of both the inflows and outflows.

The NPV of this project $494,385.54.
