    A company is considering a project with a 3 year life producing the following costs and revenues:

    Cost of machine 100,000
    Depreciation of machine (for three years) 20,000 p.a.
    Annual cost of direct labour 20,000
    Annual charge for foreman (10% apportionment) 5,000
    Annual cost of components required 18,000
    Annual net revenues from machine 80,000
    Cost of capital 20%

    solution shown is
    Revenue – components – labour = $80,000 – $18,000 – $20,000 = 
    $42,000 / yr and then discounting it to calculate NPV

    i can understand why depreciation is not excluded from revenue as it is a non cash expenditure.
    My Question is
    Why did they also did not reduct the Annual charge of foreman.
    Is it because its a cost that is being apportioned among the cost centers, mean it will going to incur even if the project is not taken and its not being related to this particular project.So any apportioned cost is not considered while calculating net cash flow of a project. Am i right?

    You are correct.

    We look at the cash flow effects on the company, and since the foreman will be paid anyway there is no extra cash flow resulting from buying the new machine.
