A project requires additional accounts receivable of $1,000,000 and additional inventory of $500,000. It results in additional accounts payable of $800,000. Net working capital will return to its normal level following the 3-year project. What is the effect on the NPV of the project solely due to this investment in net working capital, assuming a 10% required rate of return?
A new piece of specialty equipment costs $2,500,000 and will be depreciated to an expected salvage value of $400,000 on a straight-line basis over its 3-year life. Assuming a tax rate of 35%, what is its after-tax salvage value if the equipment is actually sold after 2 years for $950,000?
A firm currently sells $2,250,000 annually of an expensive product line. That firm is considering a similar, less expensive, discount line, and projects sales of $420,000.

Project Z will result in unit sales of 2,250, at a price of $650 each. The variable cost (VC) of each unit is $325. The cost accountant will allocate overhead on the existing plant to Project Z at a rate of $21 per unit. A special piece of equipment must be leased for $75,000 per year for purposes related solely to Project Z. Project Z will reduce sales of the same company’s Project X by 900 units (selling price of $950 with variable cost of $510 and overhead allocation of $32 per unit). What is the total incremental cash flow for Project Z?
