Calculation of net cash inflow per year-

Sale value of normal clubs 43710000
Sale value of low valued clubs 4731000
Less-Variable cost of normal clubs 19505000
Less-Variable cost of low valued clubs 1653000
Less-opportunity cost of high valued clubs 7656000
Less-Fixed cost 9300000
Less-Depreciation 4100000
Profit before tax 6227000
Tax @25% 1556750
Profit after Tax 4670250
Add-Depreciation 4100000
Net cash inflow per year 8770250

Calculation of cash outflows-

Plant and Equipment 28700000
Marketing study cost 140000
R&D cost 1000000
Working capital required 2320000
Total 32160000

PV factor = (1/1.12)^1+(1/1.12)^2....+(1/1.12)^7

= 4.5638

NPV = PV of net cash inflow - PV of cash outflow

= (8770250*4.5638 + 2320000*0.4523) - 32160000

= 41075002.95 - 32160000

= $8915002.95

Notes-

In PV of cash inflow return of working capital at year end of 7 will also be included i.e. (2320000*0.4523)
