Calculate initial cost
Initial cost
= 1,000,000 + 100,000 + 20,000,000 + 1,000,000
= $22,100,000

Calculate the annual incremental cash
flow: step 1
Calculate the annual depreciation expense
For this project, fixed assets refer to $20mil plant
& machinery. Therefore,
Depreciation
= (20,000,000 – 3,000,000)/10
= $1,700,000
