TWC Inc. is considering a new project line whose data are estimated and presented below. The equipment to be used would be depreciated by the straight-line method over its 3-year life and would have a zero salvage value, and no change in net operating working capital would be required. Revenues and other operating costs are expected to be constant over the project's 3-year life. However, this project would compete with other TWC products and would reduce their pre-tax annual cash flows. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) Do not round the intermediate calculations and round the final answer to the nearest whole number.
| WACC | 10.0% |
| Pre-tax cash flow reduction for other products (cannibalization) | -$5,000 |
| Investment cost (depreciable basis) | $80,000 |
| Straight-line depr. rate | 33.333% |
| Annual sales revenues | $69,000 |
| Annual operating costs (excl. depr.) | -$25,000 |
| Tax rate | 35.0% |
