The staff of Jefferson Medical Services has estimated the
following net cash flows for food services operation that it may
open in its outpatient clinic:
Year |
Expected net cash flow |
0 |
($100,000) |
1 |
$30,000 |
2 |
$30,000 |
3 |
$30,000 |
4 |
$30,000 |
5 |
$30,000 |
5 (Salvage Value) |
$20,000 |

final amount is the terminal cash flow. (The clinic is expected to
move to a new building in five years) All other flows represent net
operating cash flows. Jefferson’s corporate cost of capital is
10%.
