Answer:
c. NPV will decrease by $1,621.23.
Explanation:
Missing word "Hint: what happens to cash flow when net working capital increases and decreases? a. NPV will not be affected because the $25,000 will all be recouped b. NPV will decrease by $25,000. c. NPV will decrease by $1,621.23. d. NPV will increase by $1,864.41. 19"
Present Value of Net Working Capital investment in Year 5 = $25000 / (1+15%)^5
= -$25,000 / (1+15%)^5
= -$25,000 / 2.01135719
= -$12,429.418
= -$12,429.42
Present Value of Net Working Capital Recovered in Year 6 = $25000 / (1+15%)^6
= $25,000 / (1+15%)^6
= $25,000 / 2.31306077
= $10,808.1899
= $10,808.19
Effect on the project's net present value = Present Value of Net Working Capital investment in Year 5 + Present Value of Net Working Capital Recovered in Year 6
= -$12,429.42 + $10,808.19
= -$1,621.23
Therefore, NPV will decrease by $1,621.23.
