Miller Manufacturing is considering a new project that would last for six years. To begin the project, the company must purchase new equipment for $240,000. The project will also require an immediate increase in net working capital of $30,000 at time 0. The project is expected to generate after-tax operating cash flows of $62,000 per year for each of the six years. At the end of year 6, the equipment is expected to be sold for an after-tax salvage value of $35,000. The company will also recover the full $30,000 net working capital investment at the end of the project. If the company’s required rate of return is 10%, what is the project’s net present value, or NPV?
