Perkins, Inc., is considering an investment of $383,000 in an asset with an economic life of 5 years. The firm estimates that the nominal annual cash revenues and expenses at the end of the first year will be $263,000 and $88,000, respectively. Both revenues and expenses will grow thereafter at the annual inflation rate of 4 percent. The company will use the straight-line method to depreciate its asset to zero over five years. The salvage value of the asset is estimated to be $63,000 in nominal terms at that time. The one-time net working capital investment of $19,000 is required immediately and will be recovered at the end of the project. The tax rate is 23 percent.
