NPV = $19325

so correct option is e. $19,325

Explanation:

given data

Risk-adjusted WACC = 10.0%

Net investment cost = $65,000

depreciation rate = 33.3333%

Sales revenues = $65,500

Operating costs = $25,000

Tax rate = 35.0%

solution

we know here EBT that is express as

EBT = sales - depreciation - operating cost

EBT = 65500 - 21666.67 - 25000

EBT = 18833.33

and

tax is 35 % = 35 % of 18833.33 = 6591.67

and

EAT = EBT - tax

EAT = 18833.33 - 6591.67

EAT = 12241.67

and

net cash flow is here = EAt + depreciation adj

net cash flow = 12241.67 + 21666.67

net cash flow = 33908.33

and

NPV = pv cashflow - PV investment

NPV = 84325 - 65000

NPV = $19325

so correct option is e. $19,325
