3. Analysis of an expansion projectCompanies invest in expansion projects with the expectation of increasing the earnings of its business.Consider the case of Fox Co.:Fox Co. is considering an investment that will have the following sales, variable costs, and fixed operating costs:Unit salesSales priceVariable cost per unitFixed operating costsThis project will require an investment of $10,000 in new equipment. Under the new tax law, the equipment is eligible for 100% bonus deprecation att = 0, so it will be fully depreciated at the time of purchase. The equipment will have no salvage value at the end of the project's four-year life. Foxpays a constant tax rate of 25%, and it has a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 11%.

No other firm would take on this project if Fox turns it down. How much should Fox reduce the NPV of this project if it discovered that this projectwould reduce one of its division's net after-tax cash flows by $300 for each year of the four-year project?$1,024$931$698$791The project will require an initial investment of $10,000, but the project will also be using a company-owned truck that is not currently being used.This truck could be sold for $9,000, after taxes, if the project is rejected. What should Fox do to take this information into account?The company does not need to do anything with the value of the truck because the truck is a sunk cost.Increase the NPV of the project by $9,000.Increase the amount of the initial investment by $9,000.
