Sheila has determined the NPV of a proposed eight-year project to be $24,000 in order to provide a 16% rate of return. She failed to consider a requirement for an additional $40,000 cash outlay for working capital, which would be recoverable at the end of the project. Assume the present value of $1 at 16% to be received after 8 periods is 0.30500. What would the net present value of the project be after considering working capital?

| Statement showing Computations | |
| Particulars | Amount |
| PV of cash outflow - WC | (40,000.00) |
| PV of cash inflow - WC = 40,000*.305 | 12,200.00 |
| Net impact on working capital =-40,000 + 12,200 | (27,800.00) |
| Existing NPV | 24,000.00 |
| net present value of the project be after considering working capital | (3,800.00) |
