Sub-Prime Loan Company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that
would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new office. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No change in net operating working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.)WACC 10.0%Opportunity cost $100,000Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) $65,000Straight-line depreciation rate for equipment 33.333%Annual sales revenues $123,000Annual operating costs (excl. depreciation) $25,000Tax rate 35%a. $10,521b. $11,075c. $11,658d. $12,271e. $12,885
