Problem 11-06 New-Project Analysis

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $1,130,000, and it would cost another $22,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class (the applicable MACRS depreciation rates are 33.33%, 44.45%, 14.81%, and 7.41%), and it would be sold after 3 years for $536,000. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $8,000. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $459,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 40%.

1. What is the Year 0 net cash flow? $
6. What are the net operating cash flows in Years 1, 2, and 3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

   Year 2	$
   Year 3	$

8. What is the additional Year 3 cash flow (i.e, the after-tax salvage and the return of working capital)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $
13. If the project's cost of capital is 11 %, what is the NPV of the project? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $
