The company believes that it can sell 25,500 tents per year at a price of $68 and variable costs of $28 per tent. The fixed costs will be $435,000 per year. The project will require an initial investment in net working capital of $209,000 that will be recovered at the end of the project. The required rate of return is 11.1 percent and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the NPV?
