Capital budgeting computations
A project costing $80,000 has an estimated life of 3 years and no salvage value. The estimated net income and net after tax cash flows from the project are as follows:
The company's minimum desired rate of return for discounted cash flow analysis is 10%. The present value of $1 at compound interest of 10% at 1, 2, and 3 years is .909, .826, and .751 respectively. The present value of a $1 annuity for three years at 10% is 2.487. The company uses straight-line depreciation.
