I am in need of help calculating the NVP, IRR, and Profitability Index for my course project on Home Depot. The WACC is 8.6%.

The parameters for the week 7 project deliverable are as follows. The firm is looking to expand its operations by 10% of the firm's net property, plant, and equipment. (Calculate this amount by taking 10% of the property, plant, and equipment figure that appears on the firm's balance sheet.) The estimated life of this new property, plant, and equipment will be 10 years. The salvage value of the equipment will be 5% of the property, plant and equipment's cost. The annual EBIT for this new project will be 18% of the project's cost. The company will use the straight-line method to depreciate this equipment. Also assume that there will be no increases in net working capital each year. Use 25% as the tax rate in this project. The hurdle rate for this project will be the WACC that you are able to find on a financial website, such as Gurufocus.com. If you are unable to find the WACC for a company, contact your instructor. He or she will assign you a WACC rate. Course Project Deliverables Prepare a narrated PowerPoint presentation that will highlight the following items.
