    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 – £190,600

    in this question
    incremental cash fixed costs are definitely a relevant cost

    so
    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 )

    The 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.

    Oh ok sir thank you
    That means

    Contribution is a relevant cash inflow

    Fixed cost is a relevant cash outflow

    Ok ok
