The fixed asset will be depreciated straight-line to zero over its three-year tax life. The project is estimated to generate $1,715,000 in annual sales, with costs of $625,000. The project requires an initial investment in net working capital of $260,000, and the fixed asset will have a market value of $195,000 at the end of the project. a. If the tax rate is 21 percent, what is the project's Year O net cash flow? Year 1? Year 2? Year 3? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. If the required return is 9 percent, what is the project's NPV? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. BA a. Year 0 cash flow a. Year 1 cash flow $ a.
