Would a project’s NPV for a typical firm be higher or lower if the firm used accelerated rather than straight-line depreciation? Explain.
Homework Answers
Typically, a project will have a higher NPV if the firm uses accelerated rather than straight-line depreciation. This is because the total cash flows over the project's life will be higher if accelerated depreciation is used, assuming other things held constant.
I hope this clear your doubt.

After estimating a project’s NPV, the analyst is advised that the fixed capital outlay will be revised upward by $73200. The fixed capital outlay is depreciated straight-line over a 6-year life. The tax rate is 40 percent, and the required rate of return is 9 percent. No changes in cash operating revenues, cash operating expenses, or salvage value are expected. What is the effect on the project NPV?
