Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

Particulars 0 1 2 3

cost of project -$2,410,000

Investment in

working capital $-380,000

sales $1,775,000 $1,775,000 $1,775,000

less: cost -$672,000 -$672,000 -$672,000

less: depreciation -$2,410,000 $0 $0

operating profit -$1,307,000 $1,103,000 $1,103,000

less tax at 23% -$300,610 $253,690 $253,690

after tax profit -$1,006,390 $849,310 $849,310

add depreciation $2,410,000 $0 $0

after tax sale proceeds of machine $288,750

recovery of working capital $380,000

1. Net operating cash flow

-$2,790,000 $1,403,610 $849,310 $1,518,060

present value of net operating cash flow is

= net operating cash flow ÷ (1 + r)^n

r = 9%

-$2,790,000 $1,287,715.6 $714,847.235 $1,172,220.85

2 Net present value = sum of the present value of operating cash flow $384,783.69
