Question: Tiger Ltd is contemplating a 3 - year project that will have sales that will grow 8 percent per year from a year 1 figure

Tiger Ltd is contemplating a 3-year project that will have sales that will grow 8 percent per
year from a year 1 figure of $20 million (in nominal terms) and cash costs that will grow at 6
percent a year from a year 1 figure of $4 million (in nominal terms). Machinery that needs to
be purchased will cost $36 million and will last 3 years and is depreciated by the straight-line
method to zero. This equipment will realise $8 million (pre-tax and in todays dollars) when
resold at the end of the project. The annual inflation rate is expected to be 2 percent and the
Tiger Ltd project has a WACC of 10 percent in real terms (as distinct from nominal); and the
corporate tax rate and capital gains tax rate are both 30 percent. The NWC requirement each
year for this project is 10 percent of sales. This investment is fully recovered at the end of the
project.
