A company is evaluating a new product proposal that will last 6 years.
The initial outlay is $2 million. The proposed product selling price is
$220 per unit and the variable costs are $55 per unit and sales are
planned to be 2,750 units each year. The incremental cash fixed costs
for the product will be $3,750 per annum.
What is the NPV of this project if the cost of capital is 10%?
A $40,250
B – $40,250
C $190,600
D – £190,600in this question
incremental cash fixed costs are definitely a relevant costso
why did we deduct that from the total contribution received per annum ?we should not have deducted the incremental cash fixed cost as thats a relevant cost right sir?
( question from kaplan text )October 2, 2021 at 3:46 pm #636870The fixed costs are relevant because they are incremental (i.e. extra).
We subtract them from the contribution because the contribution is a cash inflow and the fixed costs are a cash outflow.

That meansContribution is a relevant cash inflow
Fixed cost is a relevant cash outflow
