Year Cash Outflow 0 $3,500,000 1 $4,750,000 2 $6,100,000
Johnson Drum's cost of capital is 14%, and its marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the NINV measured in present value terms today?

Answer 1

Answer:

$12,356,650

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the NINV measured in present value terms today

Year Cash Outflow PVIF PV of NINV

Year 0 $3,500,000 * 1.000 = $3,500,000

Year 1 $4,750,000* 0.877 =$ 4,165,750

Year2 $6,100,000* 0.769 =$4,690,900

Total NINV=$12,356,650

(3,500,000+4,165,750+=4,690,900)

Therefore the NINV measured in present value terms today will be $12,356,650
