Extracted text: Problem 3. Century Contracting is thinking of opening a new warehouse, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new warehouse. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No new working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? IRR? What is your decision and why? Briefly discuss results. Project cost of capital (r) Opportunity cost Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) Straight-line deNtEC, rate for equipment Sales revenues, each year Operating costs (excl. deprec.), each year Tax rate 10.0% $100,000 $65,000 33.333% $123,000 $25,000 35%
