John Kay Inc. is considering the installation of a new production line to make automated flying shuttles for weaving machines. The capital cost of the equipment is $2.2 million. The machines on the new line are classified as 15-year property. Kay plans to operate the line for 2 years, at which time the project will end and the assets will be disposed of for $1,000,000. The new line requires an increase in net working capital of $20,000, which would be liquidated at the end of the project. The investment outlays would occur immediately.
Sales are expected to be constant at $2,000,000, and operating expenses at $800,000. Assume that all revenues and operating expenses are received (paid) at the end of each of the two years of operations. Kay's marginal tax rate is 35 percent. Kay's cost of capital is 11%. What is the NPV for the proposed acquisition if the cost of capital is 11%?
