Find the free cash flows for the project


Problem: Buck Inc. is considering an expansion project that requires an investment of $90 million in machinery.

This is expected to produce sales of $140 million in year 1 and $150 million in year 2.

The machinery will be depreciated over two years on a straight-line basis to a zero book value.

The machinery will be scrapped after 2 years with a salvage value of $5 million. Cost of goods sold (COGS) is expected to be 40% of same year sales.  Selling, general and administrative expenses are $15,000,000 per year.

Year-end net working capital (NWC) is given in the table below.  The corporate tax rate is 30%.
