Revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What are the project's NPV and IRR?
WACC = 10.0%
Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) =$100,000
Additional sales revenues as a result of the new equipment purchase = $150,000 per year durinh the next three years.
