I am extremely sorry for asking the answer alone.I am doing my exams tomorrow and i found the below questions in the open tuition revision exam.I tried my best to find an answer but i couldnt figure it out.Thats why i asked you sir to get help.
Can i know what is incremental cost and how is the scrap value accounted?
Initial cost $300,000 Expected life 5 years Est. Scrap value $20,000 Addition revenue from the project – $120,000 per year Incremental costs of the project – $30,000 per year cost of capital 10% calculate the NPV of the project.
So the net cash inflow each year is 120,000 (extra revenue) less 30,000 (extra costs). i.e. 90,000 a year for each of the 5 years. (And, of course, an extra 20,000 in 5 years time from scrap.)
