Downhill pizza located near the sugarloaf ski area makes


Question: Downhill Pizza, located near the Sugarloaf ski area, makes Tuscan style "homemade" pizza which it freezes and distributes throughout the northeast. It is considering a new more efficient pizza oven with a larger capacity. The installed cost will be $350,000. This cost will be depreciated straight line over its five year life to a zero salvage value as determined by the IRS (there is no half-year convention with straight line depreciation). However, the firm plans to sell the oven in four years (at t = 4) for $80,000. The oven will save the firm $130,000 per year in pretax operating costs, and the system requires an initial investment in net working capital of $28,000 which will be returned to the firm at the end of the project (at t=4). There are no other net working capital changes. If the tax rate is 28% and the project discount rate is 14%, what is the NPV of this project?
