LM Company is considering investing in a new project that will generate cash inflows of $45,000 every year for the ten-year life of the project. Investing in this new project will require the purchase of a new machine, which will cost $200,000. The machine will have a salvage value of $15,000 at the end of ten years, but will require a repair costing $6,000 at the end of year four and a repair costing $10,000 at the end of year seven. In addition, this project will require an immediate investment of $40,000 in working capital which would be released for investment elsewhere at the end of the ten years. LM Company has a cost of capital of 8% and an income tax rate of 40%.
Calculate the net present value (NPV) of the new project.
